An insight into functionalized calcium based inorganic nanomaterials in biomedicine: Trends and transitions

- Discussion on characteristic properties and major challenges in comparison to other nanomaterials as well as method of preparation.
- Focus is more on systemic applications than localized delivery.
- Discussion on application in gene, protein and small molecules delivery for diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and vaccination.
- Covers all the surface modification or functionalization that has been done to improve their applicability.
- Mineralization of calcium phosphate over other nanosized delivery systems.
