pH-responsive NIR enhanced drug release from gold nanocages possesses high potency against cancer cells

Abstract

We report a smart therapeutic nanoplatform based on Fe3O4@CaP capped gold nanocages, which integrates magnetic targeting, photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for killing cancer cells. Combining photothermal- and chemo-therapy results in a synergistic effect in cancer treatment.
