Core–multishell nanoparticles: Near‐IR‐resonant rhodamine‐encapsulated poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA)–Mn/Au half‐shell nanoparticles (NPs; see figure) are developed by depositing metal multilayers on PLGA NPs. These NPs can be used for photothermally controlled drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging. Upon NIR irradiation, the release rate of rhodamine from the PLGA NPs is about twice as great as that without NIR irradiation, indicating photothermally controlled drug delivery possibilities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
