Abstract

Abstract : Gold nanoshell coated oleanolic acid liposomes mediating by chitosan (GNOLs), are designed and successfully synthesized for the first time by D. Gao and co‐workers on page number 4103. An excellent near infrared (NIR) photothermal effect, pH‐responsive drug controlled release and tumor targeting properties are demonstrated. By combining NIR photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, the smart drug delivery system exhibits a superior antitumor property in vitro and in vivo.
