Gold Nanorod Core-mesoporous Silica Shell Nanodevice for Caner Targeting, Imaging and Controlled Drug Release

摘要

Conclusions: A facile method was developed to fabricate folic acid conjugated AuNR core-mesoporous silica shell (AuNR@mSiO2) NPs as multifunctional theranostics. In vitro release results showed that the nanodevice was an effective drug carrier and provided controlled drug release. In vitro biological results demonstrated that the nanodevice possessed good targeting and optical ability as effective probe for cancer detection.
