Wong and Choi examine mechanisms of drug release in nanotherapeutic delivery systems. They describe nanotherapeutics, nanocarriers, and biomarkers, along with their aims and scope. Their focus is then turned to the mechanisms of drug release via linker cleavage and the mechanisms of drug release via...
