Biocompatible FePO4 Nanoparticles: Drug Delivery, RNA Stabilization, and Functional Activity

Abstract FePO4 NPs are of special interest in food fortification and biomedical imaging because of their biocompatibility, high bioavailability, magnetic property, and superior sensory performance that do not cause adverse organoleptic effects. These characteristics are desirable in drug delivery as...
