Various systems were synthesized and tailored to investigate their encapsulation abilities and surface modi ications to provide them with targeting capabilities. Additionally, nanocomposites responsive to near-infrared (NIR) light were created, comprising a core of gold nanoparticles and a shell of nano metal-organic frameworks. These intelligent nanocarriers were designed to facilitate intracellular cargo delivery through innovative strategies.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MOFsnanoparticlesdrug deliverynanomedicine230408 MacromoléculasEngineering smart nano metal-organic frameworks for biomedical applicationsdoctoral thesisopen access
