Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Plant virions, as nano-sized particles, have the advantages of high
accumulation levels in plant cells, low regeneration cost, simple purification process
and safety for the human body. They are ideal natural nanomaterials. With the
development of bio-nanotechnology, plant virus nanoparticles show more and more
applicable potential in the field of medicine. This chapter reviews the research progress
and application of plant virus nanoparticles in the field of medicine, focusing on
targeted drug delivery, molecular imaging and vaccine preparation.
