Abstract
Redox-responsive polymer capsules stabilized by disulfide bonds and loaded with hydrophobic cargo are prepared by templating mesoporous silica particles via layer-by-layer assembly. The thiols and disulfide bonds in the capsules interact with the exofacial thiols on the cell membrane, which regulate cellular association and cargo release from the capsules.
