Nanomedicine with an Invisible Switch

The November issue of Advanced Functional Materials highlights research by scientists from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, regarding the design of a drug delivery system in the form of very small cerium oxide particles encapsulated in silica-based nanoparticles. This system can "smartly" react to the environment and release its cargo (cerium oxide particles) in a precisely determined environment due to the influence of radical forms of oxygen.
