Mesoporous Silica-Coated Gold Nanorods as a Light-Mediated Multifunctional Theranostic Platform for Cancer Treatment
AM-3: X. Wu, C. Chen, and co-workers develop mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (Au@SiO2) as a versatile platform for imaging, chemotherapeutics, and hyperthermia. The Au@SiO2 thus keeps both the unique functions of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and gold nanorods, and also provides a new functionality: lightcontrolled drug release. With integrated functions, such multifunctional theranostic systems are critical to optimize therapeutic efficacy and to improve safety of therapeutic regimes. They will provide more opportunities for on-demand therapy, paving the way to personalized medicine.
图评：这是一个视觉冲击力很强的作品。中国有句古话叫红配绿猪狗嫌，这张图中红色和绿色分量相当，可以说是处于对决状态，色彩的强烈对立造成这幅图像放在什么地方都会引起很强的关注。构图中的圆形，方形三角形一般都是采取柔和暗示的方式来构成的，而这张图在构图的时候又反向而行，一个很尖锐的大三角直指画面中间，将目光汇聚在一个焦点。只有右侧一束白光看似只想背景球的背面，其实作用是将目光压力分解，再重新回落到前景，看到前景所指向之物。
