DNA-templated in situ growth of silver nanoparticles on mesoporous silica nanospheres for smart intracellular GSH-controlled release†
Abstract
In this work, we propose a method for constructing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) by a DNA-templated process. By in situ formation, the gatekeeper can be easily modulated to meet different degrees of glutathione (GSH) stimuli for location-specific drug release.
