Cancer Therapy: Anti‐Metastatic and Anti‐Angiogenic Activities of Core–Shell SiO₂@LDH Loaded with Etoposide in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer (Adv. Sci. 11/2016)

In article 1600229, Shilong Wang, Rongrong Zhu, Yechang Qian, and co-workers investigate the anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic effects of SiO2@LDH (LDH: layered double hydroxide) loaded with etoposide (VP16). SiO2@LDH has very suitable qualities as drug delivery agent and enhances the anti-metastatic action of VP16 both in vitro and in vivo. Enhanced anti-angiogenic efficacy is also proven which might contribute to the anti-cancer action. The cover image represents the 3D structure of core-shell SiO2@LDH-VP16, which silicon dioxide sphere flexibly enclosed by double-layered hydroxide.
