Magnetic particle Fe 3O4 is encapsulated within a shell of SiO2 that ensures biocompatibility of the nanocomposite as well as act as a host for fluorescent dye (FITC), cancer-targeting ligand (folic acid), and a hydrophobic drug storage-delivering vehicle (β-cyclodextrin). Our preliminary results suggest that such core-shell nanocomposite can be a smart theranostic candidate for simultaneous fluorescence imaging, magnetic manipulation, cancer cell-targeting and hydrophobic drug delivery. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. | Source Title: | Carbohydrate Polymers | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/90509 | ISSN: | 01448617 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.carbpol.2013.02.046 |
