Abstract
A new approach towards the design of "gated scaffolds" based on the combination of capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with porous biomaterials is reported. Using this approach, a 3D gelatin-based scaffold able to selectively deliver cargo in the presence of an APase enzyme is prepared and tested. This new design opens up the possibility of developing new smart biomaterials with advanced drug-delivery features.Entities:
