Cover Story: Among the emerging strategies in the treatment of cancer, stimuli-responsive smart drug delivery systems have attracted attention because of the efficient delivery of the payload at the target site without harming the healthy tissues and simultaneously coping with chemoresistance due to subtherapeutic drug exposures. Apart from their salient features, liposomes and mesoporous silica nanoparticles individually exhibit certain drawbacks, but a combined approach ends up being a success. The gatekeeping effect of lipid coat not only plays an important role in the stability of nanocarriers but also enhances the cellular uptake. Ultrasound responsive conversion of liquid to gas result in lipid layer rupture and ultimately triggers drug release from porous structures. View this paper.
