%X In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged at the forefront of nanotechnology area generating great expectations in the biomedical field. Researchers are developing novel nanoparticles for both diagnostic applications using imaging technology and treatment purposes through drug delivery technologies. Among all the available nanoparticles, inorganic mesoporous silica nanoparticles are the newcomers to the field contributing with their unique and superlative properties. In this Progress Report we provide a brief overview of the most recent progress in the synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their use as drug delivery nanocarriers.This contribution also updates the last trends on this type of nanoparticles towards their use in modern medicine highlighting the significant impact that this technology might have in the near future.
