Multifunctional magnetic silica nanotubes for MR imaging and targeted drug delivery

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 4;51(18):3923-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09382h.

Abstract

A multifunctional drug delivery vehicle consisting of a tubular shaped silica host, a compact superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle layer and a hyaluronic acid surface coating was developed as a theranostic platform, for in vivo MR imaging and magnetically guided/cancer targeted drug delivery.
