Collagen-Binding Nanoparticles: A Scoping Review of Methods and Outcomes

(1) Background: Collagen is the main component of the connective tissue, playing an important role in the histological architecture and function of living organisms. Targeted therapy and improved imaging diagnosis can be obtained through collagen-binding nanoparticles that concentrate in the extrace...
