A novel multifunctional hybrid nanocarrier consisting of a red fluorescence quantum dot core and a star-shaped cationic β-cyclodextrin polymer shell is demonstrated. Chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel is supramolecularly preloaded into the nanocarrier, which co-delivers the drug and DNA with an enhanced gene expression, while the quantum dot core allows simultaneous cellular imaging using laser scanning confocal microscopy.
