Tumor Targeting: Programmed Nanococktail for Intracellular Cascade Reaction Regulating Self‐Synergistic Tumor Targeting Therapy (Small 6/2016)

An improved antitumor therapy can be achieved by rationally designing an intelligent nanomedicine with programmed functions to specifically eliminate tumors while leaving healthy tissues untouched. On page 733, X.-Z. Zhang and co-workers demonstrate a tailor-made ZnO-based nanococktail with a stealth capacity to trigger an intracellular cascade reaction, releasing drugs on-demand for tumor-specific therapy.
