Illustration of a functionalization of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle. MSNs may be functionalized on the outer surface with targeting ligands or polymers for enhanced biocompatibility, while the inner pores may be loaded with chemotherapeutic agents, drugs, genetic components or fluorescent/labeled molecules for easy imaging.
