PG - 3344-59 LID - 10.1002/smll.201600325 [doi] AB - During the last decade, using versatile, promising, and fascinating mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as site-specific and stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) has received concentrated research interest. As one of the most attractive surface modification units, peptides have inherent bioactivity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Recent progresses in the utilization of versatile peptides for surface functionalization of MSNs to achieve cell-specific targeting, fluorescence imaging, and intracellular diagnosis and treatment of tumors are summarized in this review. The various functional peptides decorated on the MSNs are introduced and classified into three types, including targeting peptides, stimuli-responsive peptides and multifunctional chimeric peptides. The limitations and challenges of peptide modified MSNs and their potential applications are further discussed. CI - (c) 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
