MSN surface can be multi-functionalized to develop a targeting and stimuli-responsive delivery nanosystem. The types of functionalization include the attachment of PEG, fluorescent or contrast agent molecules, and targeting ligands (e.g., protein, peptide, antibody). Surface charge can also be tuned, and the nanoparticles can be loaded with different drugs and/or contrast agents.
