Abstract
KGaA, Weinheim. A smart, tumor-trigged, controlled drug release using inorganic "caps" with CO3 2- functional groups in electrospun fibers is presented for inhibiting cancer relapse. When the drug-loaded intelligent electrospun fibers encounter pathological acidic environments, the inorganic gates react with the acids and produce CO2 gas, which enables water penetration into the core of the fibers to induce rapid drug release.
