Nanoarchitecting Hierarchical Mesoporous Siliceous Frameworks: A New Way Forward.

TL;DR: This review gives a brief emphasis on re-engineering such stable siliceous frameworks through modifying their intrinsic structural and physicochemical attributes, resulting in the hetero-nanostructures of irregular-shaped (Janus and multi-podal) and dynamically-modulated (deformable solids) architectures with high morphological complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vivo Assembly and Disassembly of Probes to Improve Near‐Infrared Optical Bioimaging

TL;DR: An overview of in vivo assembly and disassembly strategies to improve tumor‐specific accumulation, “turn‐on” the silent signals, and reduce the background noise in NIR bioimaging windows is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acid‐Degradable Hydrogen‐Generating Metal‐Organic Framework for Overcoming Cancer Resistance/Metastasis and Off‐Target Side Effects

TL;DR: In this article , a new type of porphyrin-iron metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) nanocrystals is engineered as acid-degradable drug carrier and hydrogen donor by the coordination between porphrin and zero-valence Fe atom.
Journal ArticleDOI

Size effect of mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles on tumor penetration and accumulation

TL;DR: In vivo experiments show that the 40 nm MONs possess the longest mean residence times, leading to their highest accumulation in blood and tumors, and this work provides an important guideline for the rational design of nanoplatforms for tumor treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradable Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica (BPMO) Loaded with Daunorubicin: A Promising Nanoparticle-Based Anticancer Drug

TL;DR: DNR‐loaded BPMO represents a promising nanodrug compared with free DNR currently used in cancer therapy, and lack of adverse effect on organs such as lung appears to be due to excellent tumor accumulation of B PMO.

Nanoparticle size and surface properties determine the protein corona with possible implications for biological impacts

TL;DR: The long-lived (“hard”) protein corona formed from human plasma is studied for a range of nanoparticles that differ in surface properties and size and both size and surface properties were found to play a very significant role.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles as controlled release drug delivery and gene transfection carriers

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent research developments of a series of surface-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) materials as efficient drug delivery carriers and envision that these MSN-based systems have a great potential for a variety of drug delivery applications.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Biocompatibility and Drug Delivery

TL;DR: The in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and biotranslocation of MSNs are discussed in relation to their chemophysical properties including particle size, surface properties, shape, and structure.

Accumulation of sub-100 nm polymeric micelles in poorly permeable tumours depends on size

TL;DR: It is shown that the penetration and efficacy of the larger micelles could be enhanced by using a transforming growth factor-β inhibitor to increase the permeability of the tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of a spaser-based nanolaser

TL;DR: It is shown that 44-nm-diameter nanoparticles with a gold core and dye-doped silica shell allow us to completely overcome the loss of localized surface plasmons by gain and realize a spaser, and that outcoupling of surface plasmon oscillations to photonic modes at a wavelength of 531 nm makes this system the smallest nanolaser reported to date—and to the authors' knowledge the first operating at visible wavelengths.
