Multifunctional silica nanotubes for dual-modality gene delivery and MR imaging.

abstract：:Islet transplantation is considered the most promising treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, the clinical success is limited by islet dysfunction in long-term culture. In this study, we have utilized the rapid self-gelation and injectability offered by blending of mulberry silk (Bombyx mori) with non-mulberry (Anthe...
