RT Journal Article T1 Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Engineered for Ultrasound-Induced Uptake by Cancer Cells A1 Paris, J.L. A1 Manzano García, Miguel A1 Cabañas Criado, María Victoria A1 Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre AB A novel smart hierarchical ultrasound-responsive mesoporous silica nanocarrier for cancer therapy is here presented. This dynamic nanosystem has been designed to display different surface characteristics during its journey towards tumor cells. Initially, the anticancer-loaded nanocarriers are shielded with a polyethylene glycol layer. Upon exposure to high frequency ultrasound, the polymer shell detaches from the nanoparticles, exposing a positively-charged surface. That favors the internalization in human osteosarcoma cells, where release of topotecan takes place, drastically enhancing the cytotoxic effect.
