Representative example of the biodegradation by GSH of bridged (here denoted as MONs) vs. conventional MSNs. The different NPs were incubated in SBF solution in the presence or absence of 10 mM of GSH. As observed, conventional MSNs were nearly unaffected after 7 days, irrespective of the presence of GSH, whereas those containing disulfide bonds broke into tiny fragments in the reductive environment.
