Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting of porous hybrid silica nanoparticles to cancer cells.

TL;DR: The biospecifically tagged hybrid PEI-silica particles were shown to be noncytotoxic and able to specifically target folate receptor-expressing cancer cells also under coculture conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted intracellular delivery of hydrophobic agents using mesoporous hybrid silica nanoparticles as carrier systems.

TL;DR: The presented hybrid carrier system exhibits both cancer cell-targeting ability and capacity to retain a hydrophobic agent with subsequent specific release into the endosomal compartment, making the particles promising candidates as carriers for targeted drug delivery for cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Inhibition of Notch Signaling in Cancer

TL;DR: A novel approach, using imagable mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) as vehicles for targeted delivery of GSIs to block Notch signaling is presented, highlighting MSNPs as an attractive platform for targeted drug delivery of anticancer drugs with otherwise restricted clinical application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer-cell-specific induction of apoptosis using mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug-delivery vectors.

TL;DR: Enhanced cancer-cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) relative to free MTX is thus observed at particle concentrations where nonspecific MTX-induced apoptosis is not observed in the nontargeted healthy cell line, while corresponding amounts of free drug affect both cell lines equally.
