Tunable multi-responsive nano-gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug carriers
Tunable multi-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared by post-condensation/surface modification of MCM-41 nanoparticles. Surface grafting of a poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-based polymer containing disulfide bonds was achieved by a click reaction. Chemical modification,…

TPGS-Modified Long-Circulating Liposomes Loading Ziyuglycoside I for Enhanced Therapy of…
Background: Ziyuglycoside I (ZgI), an active ingredient isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Sanguisorba officinalis L, has been demonstrated to increase the leucocytes and protect hematopoietic stem cells. However, the poor solubility and a short half-life of ZgI limit its bioavailability and…
