Daunting challenges in investigating the controlled release of drugs in complicated intracellular microenvironments demand the development of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. Here, a nanoparticle system, CaF<sub>2</sub>:Tm,Yb@mSiO<sub>2</sub>, made of a mesoporous silica (mSiO<sub>2</sub>) nanosphere with CaF<sub>2</sub>:Tm,Yb upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is developed, filling its mesopores and with its surface-modified with polyacrylic acid for binding the anticancer drug molecul ...[more]
