Cockle shell-derived aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticle for targeting cancer and breast cancer stem cells
Abstract Cockle shell-derived aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CACNP) have demonstrated prospect as nano-sized drug carriers for targeting cancer cells. CACNP is biocompatible, biodegradable and its biomaterial is readily available and is of low cost. In addition, CACNP is highly porous, h...
