Abstract
In recent decades, silica-based nanomaterials have emerged as a kind of novel and multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs), expanding new applications in inorganic materials as well as laying a foundation for organic–inorganic hybrids tumor-targeted DDS. Silica-based delivery systems especially mesoporous ones exhibit attractive characteristics, which guarantee the high loading of diverse cargo molecules for biosensing, drug delivery, tumor imaging, nanocatalysis, and so on. Here, we categorized these silica-based DDSs according to their morphology and composition, hoping to provide a more concise and detailed insight into this potential material on current trends both in lab and clinic.
