Abstract

Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the delivery of nucleic acids. This is attributed to the unique features of nanoparticles to carry genetic material with different physiochemical properties. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are a versatile platform for the efficient delivery of nuclei acid-based materials. In this chapter, we describe the synthesis of MSNPs to efficiently transport nucleic acid nanoparticles.

Keywords: Delivery; Mesoporous silica nanoparticles; Nucleic acid nanoparticles.
