Abstract
Due to the lack of targeting specificity, rapid clearance, and high toxicity associated with small molecule drugs in tumor treatment, the design of an effective drug delivery system is crucial. To better overcome physiological barriers and achieve prolonged tumor retention, nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@Au, termed FSA-NPs), made of core–shell NPs (Fe3O4@SiO2), consisting of a Fe3O4 core and a mesoporous silica (SiO2) shell, and with their surfaces decorated with gold NPs, are constructed. The FSA-NPs have a size range of 60–80 nm and a mildly negative surface charge. The magnetic Fe3O4 core imparts magnetic targeting capabilities to FSA-NPs, while the high porosity of the mesoporous silica shell enables efficient drug loading. Additionally, the gold NPs can convert light into heat. As a result, after being internalized by A549 lung cancer cells, FSA-NPs exhibit potent cytotoxic effects against the cancer cells under an applied magnetic field, making them a promising theranostic agent for integrated cancer diagnosis and therapy.
期刊介绍:
Advanced NanoBiomed Research will provide an Open Access home for cutting-edge nanomedicine, bioengineering and biomaterials research aimed at improving human health. The journal will capture a broad spectrum of research from increasingly multi- and interdisciplinary fields of the traditional areas of biomedicine, bioengineering and health-related materials science as well as precision and personalized medicine, drug delivery, and artificial intelligence-driven health science.
The scope of Advanced NanoBiomed Research will cover the following key subject areas:
▪ Nanomedicine and nanotechnology, with applications in drug and gene delivery, diagnostics, theranostics, photothermal and photodynamic therapy and multimodal imaging.
▪ Biomaterials, including hydrogels, 2D materials, biopolymers, composites, biodegradable materials, biohybrids and biomimetics (such as artificial cells, exosomes and extracellular vesicles), as well as all organic and inorganic materials for biomedical applications.
▪ Biointerfaces, such as anti-microbial surfaces and coatings, as well as interfaces for cellular engineering, immunoengineering and 3D cell culture.
▪ Biofabrication including (bio)inks and technologies, towards generation of functional tissues and organs.
▪ Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including scaffolds and scaffold-free approaches, for bone, ligament, muscle, skin, neural, cardiac tissue engineering and tissue vascularization.
▪ Devices for healthcare applications, disease modelling and treatment, such as diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip, organs-on-a-chip, bioMEMS, bioelectronics, wearables, actuators, soft robotics, and intelligent drug delivery systems.
with a strong focus on applications of these fields, from bench-to-bedside, for treatment of all diseases and disorders, such as infectious, autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurological disorders and cancer; including pharmacology and toxicology studies.
