Various nanoconstructs used for combination therapy of cancer. (A) Liposome, with its characteristic lipid bilayer. Niosomes exhibit a similar structure except are composed of surfactants rather than phospholipids. (B) Polymeric nanoparticle, composed of multiple monomers. (C) Dendrimer, with its branched structure of monomers. (D) Mesoporous silica nanoparticle, with porous structure used for drug loading. (E) Quantum dots. (F) Single-wall carbon nanotube. (G) Metallic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles. (H) Nanohybrid construct, composed of a silica core and a thin gold shell.
