Abstract

Encouraged by recent advances in materials science and nanomedicine, on page 3807 Y.-W. Yang and co-workers first applied benign activation mechanisms to targeted drug-release systems based on monodisperse, biofriendly zirconium nanoMOFs with pillarene-based stimuli-responsive supramolecular switches as nanovalves, aiming at targeted CNS disease therapy by combining physical (thermal heating) and natural biochemical treatments (Zn2+ ions, abundant in synaptic vesicles). This nanoscale-targeted smart drug-delivery system will prove to be a new generation of drug-delivery systems especially for CNS disease therapy in the near future.
