Drug Delivery: Templated Assembly of pH‐Labile Polymer‐Drug Particles for Intracellular Drug Delivery (Adv. Funct. Mater. 22/2012)

Abstract

Polymer carriers with finely controlled and responsive properties have received increasing interest for biomedical applications. On page 4718, Frank Caruso and co‐workers report a facile and robust approach to prepare pH‐labile drug‐loaded polymer particles by combining mesoporous silica‐templated assembly and polymer‐drug conjugates for drug delivery into cancer cells. These particles are a novel and versatile class of stimuli‐responsive carriers for controlled drug delivery.
