The rediscovery of the medical uses of silver provides another noticeable example, this time at the interface of chemistry and medicine, of the real (and nonlinear) progress of scientific research. Several new silver-based antimicrobial products have thus been commercialized in the last two decades. Next-generation antibacterials and antivirals of broad scope, low toxicity and affordable cost, we argue in this study, will be based on microencapsulated Ag nanoparticles.
银在医学上的新用途的重新发现,为我们提供了另一个显著的例子,这一次是在化学和医学的交叉点上,说明了科学研究的真正(而非线性)进展。在过去的二十年中,因此已经有几种基于银的新型抗菌产品实现了商业化。我们在这项研究中提出,具有广谱、低毒性和可负担成本的下一代抗菌和抗病毒药物将基于微囊化的银纳米粒子。
