The focus of drug delivery is shifting toward smart drug carriers that release the cargo in
response to a change in the microenvironment due to an internal or external trigger. As the …

Liposomes embedded with gold nanoparticles show light-triggered contents release. We
investigated the mechanism of the light-induced changes and functionality of the light …

A novel proof of principle demonstration for contents release from liposomes that can be
selectively activated by light irradiation is presented. The content release temperature was …

Drug-carriers, capable of releasing the drug at the target sites upon external stimuli, are
attractive for theranostic applications. In recent years, photo-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) …

The field of cancer nanomedicine is considered a promising area for improved delivery of
