Journal ArticleDOI

Remote Light-Responsive Nanocarriers for Controlled Drug Delivery: Advances and Perspectives.

TL;DR: Recent advances of light-responsive nanoplatforms for controlled drug release are reviewed, covering the mechanism of light responsive small molecules and polymers, UV and Vis light responsive nanocarriers, and NIR light responsive nmaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (PISA) - Control over the Morphology of 19F-Containing Polymeric Nano-objects for Cell Uptake and Tracking

TL;DR: It was found that the extent of cell uptake strongly depends on the morphology of the nano-objects, with preferable uptake for worm-like particles compared to spherical nanoparticles and vesicles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salinomycin-Loaded Gold Nanoparticles for Treating Cancer Stem Cells by Ferroptosis-Induced Cell Death

TL;DR: Analysis of the mechanism of action of Sal-AuNPs indicated ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, was achieved as a result of iron accumulation and inhibition of antioxidant properties, which led to the induction of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel nanoparticle drug delivery system based on PEGylated hemoglobin for cancer therapy.

TL;DR: It is found that PEG-Hb-PTX NPs possess a better in vivo antitumor effect than the commercially available Taxol® formulation and has great potential as an efficient drug delivery system for further clinic study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional magnetic porous silica for T 1-T 2 dual-modal magnetic resonance imaging and pH-responsive drug delivery of basic drugs.

TL;DR: Abundant hydroxyl groups and a large surface area enabled the γ-Fe2O3@p-silica particles to be readily loaded with a large payload of the basic model drug rhodamine B (RB) and demonstrate an excellent pH-triggered drug release.
