Viral nanoparticles as platforms for next-generation therapeutics and imaging devices

Open access
Steinmetz, Nicole F.·2010·Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine

Abstract

Nanomaterials have been developed for potential applications in biomedicine, such as tissue-specific imaging and drug delivery. There are many different platforms under development, each with advantages and disadvantages, but viral nanoparticles (VNPs) are particularly attractive because they are naturally occurring nanomaterials, and as such they are both biocompatible and biodegradable. VNPs can be designed and engineered using both genetic and chemical protocols. The use of VNPs has evolved rapidly since their introduction 20 years ago, encompassing numerous chemistries and modification strategies that allow the functionalization of VNPs with imaging reagents, targeting ligands and therapeutic molecules. This review discusses recent advances in the design of “smart” targeted VNPs for therapeutic and imaging applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
