study phaseThe 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.
study designTo this end, four different systems are thoroughly characterized from a chemical-physical and structural perspective and, then, from a biological perspective.
subjectsFlow cytometry analyses demonstrated efficient nanoparticle-cell interaction with peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and a cell viability assay performed with the improved system highlighted the potential for applications in drug delivery and bioimaging.
