Controlled drug delivery for cancer cell treatment via magnetic doxorubicin imprinted silica nanoparticles.

Herein, we report a facile and rapid one-step synthetic strategy for the development of magnetic doxorubicin imprinted silica nanoparticles for drug release experiments in living cells showing a remotely triggered doxorubicin release upon applying an alternating magnetic field, without temperature elevation of the medium (local heating).
