In the biomedical field, silica has become a research hotspot and versatile due to its unique physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility. From drug carriers to biosensors, from tissue engineering to regenerative medicine, silica plays an important role.
In the field of drug carriers, silica is used to prepare drug carriers with controllable release properties. By changing the pore size and surface properties of silica, precise control of drug loading and release processes can be achieved. These drug carriers have broad application prospects in fields such as cancer treatment and cardiovascular disease treatment.
In the field of biosensors, silicon dioxide is also widely used to prepare various types of biosensors. Such as enzyme sensors, immunosensors, and gene sensors. These sensors can achieve high sensitivity and selectivity in detecting biomolecules, providing powerful tools for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.
In addition, silica plays an important role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It can serve as a matrix material for cell culture, providing a suitable environment for cell growth and differentiation. Meanwhile, silica can also be used to prepare tissue engineering scaffolds with specific shapes and structures, providing strong support for tissue repair and regeneration.
