The design of efficient, biocompatible, and easily prepared vehicles for drug delivery is a subject of great interest for medicine and pharmaceutical sciences. To achieve the above goals, surface functionalization is critical. Here, we report a hybrid nanocarrier consisting of core–shell silica nano...
