Why is it important?

Novel nanoparticle core-shell structure where the mesoporous silica core is labeled with a high brightness fluorescent core for imaging, and the shell is composed of a smart biocompatible polymer to control drug delivery. Subsequent drug delivery tests available at dx.doi.org/10.1039/c7nr03395h
