Monitoring of "on-demand" drug release using dual tumor marker mediated DNA-capped versatile mesoporous silica nanoparticles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Aug 1;53(62):8755-8758. doi: 10.1039/c7cc02752d.

Abstract

A versatile drug delivery system with dual specific capacity of controllable release and monitoring of the intracellular release process, which extremely maximize therapeutic efficacy on diseased cells while minimizing drug toxicity to healthy cells, was reported for the first time.
