Inorganic nanoparticles in biology: drug carriers and auxiliary tools in bioimaging and bioanalytics

Abstract Among various nano-scaled materials composed from a spectrum of chemical compounds, inorganic nanoparticles are very attractive due to their physico-chemical properties, as well as their availability, simplicity, possibility of modifications, stability and biocompatibility. They are, on...
