“…More importantly, the external surface of MSNs can be modified with tumor-recognition molecules to increase the active targetability through the receptor-mediated endocytosis. Several well-known targeting molecules, such as folate [21], mannose [22], hyaluronic acid [23], arginine-glycineaspartate (RGD) [24], and lactobionic acid [25] have been conjugated to MSNs successfully, resulting in significantly enhanced antitumor efficiency.…”

“…The St ö ber procedure, which is known to generate amorphous SiNPs of a controlled size [121] , the reverse microemulsion (water-in-oil) method, and recently direct microemulsion (oil-in-water) procedure [122,123] , and the sol-gel method have all been applied to design nanoparticles for PDT applications. Both noncovalent encapsulation and covalent conjugation have been used as methods for the immobilization of the PS inside or on the surface of the SiNPs [122] . Noncovalent encapsulation is the most frequently described method, whereas covalent linkage of the PS appears to be more effi cient, as no release of the PS from the nanoparticles occurs.…”

These vesicles have been designed and utilized as vehicles for drugs, genetic material or imaging agents [26].…”
