Fluorescent Biofunctionalized Silver and Gold Nanoparticles: Bright Tools for Bioimaging Applications

Abstract The aim of this work is to evaluate different nanostructured systems based on noble metal nanoparticles suitable for drug delivery and release related to the treatment of multiple sclerosis. To this end, four different systems are thoroughly characterized from a chemical...

Double functionalization in chitosan scaffolds for bone tissue engineering improvement

Abstract Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide produced by the deacetylation of chitin. It has been employed for several biomedical applications since it is biocompatible and biodegradable. In this work, two synthetic peptides were covalently grafted to chitosan to enhance cellula...
