Chitosan-Gated Magnetic-Responsive Nanocarrier for Dual-Modal Optical Imaging, Switchable Drug Release, and Synergistic Therapy.

ABSTRACT: A dual-layer shell hollow nanostructure as drug carrier that provides instant on/off function for drug release and contrast enhancement for multimodal imaging is reported. The on-demand drug release is triggered by irradiation of an external magnetic field. The nanocarrier also demonstrates a high drug loading capacity and synergistic magnetic-thermal and chemotherapy.
