Abstract

Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP) is a multifunctional inorganic nanomaterial platform that offers a novel approach for siRNA delivery. It combines the robustness of the inorganic system with the ability of imaging, on-demand cargo release, and targeting. This chapter discusses the synthesis, surface modification, and applications of MSNP for siRNA delivery.
