This review will focus on the possibilities that this type of chemistry offers to nanomedicine research, which is an area where the stimuli responsive behavior is always targeted. There are some examples on the use of self-immolative chemistry for prodrugs or nanoparticles for drug delivery, but there is still an exciting land of opportunities waiting to be explored. This review aims at revising what has been done so far, but, most importantly, it aims at inspiring new research of self-immolative chemistry on nanomedicine.spajournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1385894717322209http://www.ucm.es/valletregigroupopen access546615.46Self-immolativeNanomedicine Mesoporous silica nanoparticlesPolymer nanoparticlesProdrugsMaterialesQuímica inorgánica (Farmacia)3312 Tecnología de Materiales
