Abstract
Designed and engineered protein and DNA nanopores can be used to sense and characterize single molecules and control transmembrane transport of molecular species. However, designed biomolecular pores are less than 100 nm in length and are used primarily for transport across lipid membranes. Nanochannels that span longer distances could be used as conduits for molecules between nonadjacent compartments or cells. Here, we design micrometer-long, 7-nm-diameter DNA nanochannels that small molecules can traverse according to the laws of continuum diffusion. Binding DNA origami caps to channel ends eliminates transport and demonstrates that molecules diffuse from one channel end to the other rather than permeating through channel walls. These micrometer-length nanochannels can also grow, form interconnects, and interface with living cells. This work thus shows how to construct multifunctional, dynamic agents that control molecular transport, opening ways of studying intercellular signaling and modulating molecular transport between synthetic and living cells.

Abstract
This review is devoted to discussing recent progress on the structure, thermodynamic, reactivity, and dynamics of water and aqueous systems confined within different types of nanopores, synthetic and biological. Currently, this is a branch of water science that has attracted enormous attention of researchers from different fields interested to extend the understanding of the anomalous properties of bulk water to the nanoscopic domain. From a fundamental perspective, the interactions of water and solutes with a confining surface dramatically modify the liquid's structure and, consequently, both its thermodynamical and dynamical behaviors, breaking the validity of the classical thermodynamic and phenomenological description of the transport properties of aqueous systems. Additionally, man-made nanopores and porous materials have emerged as promising solutions to challenging problems such as water purification, biosensing, nanofluidic logic and gating, and energy storage and conversion, while aquaporin, ion channels, and nuclear pore complex nanopores regulate many biological functions such as the conduction of water, the generation of action potentials, and the storage of genetic material. In this work, the more recent experimental and molecular simulations advances in this exciting and rapidly evolving field will be reported and critically discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, a new pH-responsive nanosystem based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) was developed for cancer therapy. Poly(2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) was grafted on their outer surface and acts as a gatekeeper, followed by subsequent modification of the polymer by cysteine (MSN-PDEAEMA-Cys) and poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (MSN-PDEAEMA-Cys-POEGMEMA). The physicochemical properties of these nanocarriers were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The synthesized nanoparticles were well-dispersed with a diameter of ca. 200 nm. The obtained XPS results confirm the successful modification of MSN-PDEAEMA with Cys and POEGMEMA by increasing the peak intensity of C-O and C=O groups at 286.5 and 288.5 eV, respectively. An anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), was encapsulated into the fabricated nanoplatform. The DOX release amount at physiological pH of 7.4 was limited (10%), while an accumulation drug release of ca. 35% was accomplished after 30 h in acidic media. The MTT cell line was used to assess the cytotoxicity of the unloaded and DOX-loaded fabricated nanoplatforms. Upon loading of DOX on these nanomaterials, they showed significant toxicity to human liver cancer cells. These results suggest that the prepared nano-structured materials showed good biocompatibility as well, and they can serve as nanocarriers for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
The transport of fluid and ions in nano/molecular confinements is the governing physics of a myriad of embodiments in nature and technology including human physiology, plants, energy modules, water collection and treatment systems, chemical processes, materials synthesis, and medicine. At nano/molecular scales, the confinement dimension approaches the molecular size and the transport characteristics deviates significantly from that at macro/micro scales. A thorough understanding of physics of transport at these scales and associated fluid properties is undoubtedly critical for future technologies. This compressive review provides an elaborate picture on the promising future applications of nano/molecular transport, highlights experimental and simulation metrologies to probe and comprehend this transport phenomenon, discusses the physics of fluid transport, tunable flow by orders of magnitude, and gating mechanisms at these scales, and lists the advancement in the fabrication methodologies to turn these transport concepts into reality. Properties such as chain-like liquid transport, confined gas transport, surface charge-driven ion transport, physical/chemical ion gates, and ion diodes will provide avenues to devise technologies with enhanced performance inaccessible through macro/micro systems. This review aims to provide a consolidated body of knowledge to accelerate innovation and breakthrough in the above fields.

Abstract
Biomineralization of biomaterials has shown extraordinary potential in cancer treatment, but the exploration of their in vivo applications is still insufficient. Here, we report a biohybrid microalgae system using a biomineralization approach to improve their biocompatibility, while keeping their living activities for radiation and photodynamic synergistic therapy in breast cancer. The biohybrid algae (Algae@SiO2) synthesized by a one-step biomimetic silicification method could significantly enhance their cytotoxicity and tolerance, improving the living activity in the tumor area. The innate chlorophyll and unique optical property make Algae@SiO2 possess dual imaging ability, namely, photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging. Algae@SiO2 accumulated in tumor sites could generate oxygen in situ by external light-mediated photosynthesis, relieve tumor hypoxia, and then enhance the efficiency of radiation therapy. As a natural photosensitizer, the released chlorophyll from Algae@SiO2 could provide reactive oxygen species to kill the cancer cells for the cascaded photodynamic therapy. The significant suppression of tumor growth in the mice bearing 4T1 tumor successfully demonstrates the promising anti-tumor effect of the Algae@SiO2-mediated synergistic therapy. Our results show that biohybrid algae, integrated with PAI/FI dual imaging, radiosensitization, and cascaded photothermal therapy, is a promising multifunctional efficient biosystem for cancer treatment.

Abstract
We have constructed a novel gated nanocarrier for the real-time monitoring of drug release, consisting of three parts: (i) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as the drug carrier, (ii) chitosan as the nanovalve to block and unlock the pores, and (iii) 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore as a connecting arm and fluorescent signal source. In the absence of glutathione (GSH), the integrity of the system results in the formation of pores in a closed state and the sulfone would block the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, leading to no fluorescence emission. However, the nucleophilic attack of GSH can cause the removal of the chitosan and recovery of ICT property, thus triggering drug release and green fluorescence emission. The results demonstrate that the change of GSH concentration in vivo or vitro would lead to a change in drug release as well as a concurrent change in fluorescence signal, which can expand the application of our gated nanocarrier for monitoring different drug release in real time.

Abstract
We combine quantum-chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to consider aqueous ion flow across non-axisymmetric nanopores in monolayer graphene and MoS2. When the pore-containing membrane is subject to uniaxial tensile strains applied in various directions, the corresponding permeability exhibits considerable directional dependence. This anisotropy is shown to arise from directed perturbations of the local electrostatics by the corresponding pore deformation, as enabled by the pore edge geometries and atomic compositions. By considering nanopores with ionic permeability that depends on the strain direction, we present model systems that may yield a detailed understanding of the structure-function relationship in solid-state and biological ion channels. Specifically, the observed anisotropic effects potentially enable the use of permeation measurements across strained membranes to obtain directional profiles of ion-pore energetics as contributed by groups of atoms or even individual atoms at the pore edge. The resulting insight may facilitate the development of subnanoscale pores with novel functionalities arising from locally asymmetric pore edge features.

Abstract
In the last decade, considerable attention has been devoted to the use of biodegradable polymeric materials as potential drug delivery carriers. However, bioavailability and drug release at the disease site remain uncontrollable even with the use of polymeric nanocarriers. To address this issue, successful methodologies have been developed to synthesize polymeric nanocarriers incorporated with regions exhibiting a response to stimuli such as redox potential, temperature, pH, and light. The resultant stimuli-responsive polymeric nanocarriers have shown tremendous promise in drug delivery applications, owing to their ability to enhance the bioavailability of drugs at the disease site. In such systems, drug release is controlled in response to specific stimuli, either exogenous or endogenous. This review reports recent advances in the design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for drug delivery in cancer therapy. In particular, the synthetic methodologies investigated to date to introduce different types of stimuli-responsive elements within the biomaterials are described. The sufficient understanding of these stimuli-responsive nanocarriers will allow the development of a better drug delivery system that will allow us to solve the challenges encountered in targeted cancer therapy.

Inspired by biological nanochannels, a novel cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated artificial nanochannel based on a tripeptide Arg-Thr-Ala (RTA) design is developed. Highly specific binding between the tripeptide and cAMP triggers an obvious conformational transition of a smart polymer chain from a contracted state to a swollen one, which leads to a dynamic modulation of the gating behaviours of the nanochannels.

Abstract
Ionic circuits composed of nanopores functionalized with polyelectrolyte chains can operate in aqueous solutions, thus allowing the control of electrical signals and information processing in physiological environments. We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that different orientations of single-pore membranes with the same and opposite surface charges can operate reliably in series, parallel, and mixed series-parallel arrangements of two, three, and four nanofluidic diodes using schemes similar to those of solid-state electronics. We consider also different experimental procedures to externally tune the fixed charges of the molecular chains functionalized on the pore surface, showing that single-pore membranes can be used efficiently in ionic circuitry with distinct ionic environments.

Abstract
Currently, the nanocomposites based on silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are usually limited to a single therapeutic modality, and the design of the SiNPs nanohybrids with multi-modal synergistic therapeutic functions is still worth being explored to achieve more effective treatment. Herein, we used mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) as a nanoplatform, SiNPs and the photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (1-methyl 4-pyridinio) porphyrin tetra (p-toluenesulfonate) (TMPyP) were first embedded in the MSN and was further modified with folic acid (FA) to obtain the mesoporous silica nanocomposite (MSN@SiNPs@TMPyP-FA) for targeted two-photon-excited fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy. The embedded TMPyP could generate singlet oxygen to perform PDT under light irradiation, meanwhile the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded for chemotherapy. Moreover, due to the two-photon excited fluorescence of SiNPs, the nanocomposite successfully achieved targeted two-photon fluorescence cellular imaging at the near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation, which could effectively avoid the interference of biological auto-fluorescence. And in vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that the synergistic therapy combining PDT and chemotherapy exhibited high therapeutic efficacy for cancer cells.

Abstract
Four types of calcined MCM-41 silica nanoparticles, loaded with dyes and capped with different gating ensembles are prepared and characterized. N1 and N2 nanoparticles are loaded with rhodamine 6G and capped with bulky poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives bearing ester groups (1 and 2). N3-N4 nanoparticles are loaded with sulforhodamine B and capped with self-immolative derivatives bearing ester moieties. In the absence of esterase enzyme negligible cargo release from N1, N3 and N4 nanoparticles is observed whereas a remarkable release for N2 is obtained most likely due to the formation of an irregular coating on the outer surface of the nanoparticles. In contrast, a marked delivery is found in N1, N3, and N4 in the presence of esterase enzyme. The delivery rate is related to the hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the coating shell. The use of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives as gating ensembles on N1 and N2 enables an easy access of esterase to the ester moieties with subsequent fast cargo release. On the other hand, the presence of a hydrophobic monolayer on N3 and N4 partially hinders esterase enzyme access to the ester groups and the rate of cargo release was decreased.

Abstract
Bioinspired, artificial functional nanochannels for intelligent molecular and ionic transport control have versatile potential applications in nanofluidics, energy conversion, and controlled drug release. To simulate the gating and rectification functions of biological ion channels, we model the electrokinetic ion transport phenomenon in an asymmetric double-gated nanochannel having a pH-regulated, zwitterionic surface. Taking account of the effect of electroosmotic flow (EOF), the conductance of the nanochannel and its ion current rectification (ICR) behavior are investigated and the associated mechanisms interpreted. In particular, the influences of the solution pH, the bulk salt concentration, and the base opening radius and the surface curvature of the nanochannel on these behaviors are examined. We show that through adjusting the base opening radius and the surface curvature of a nanochannel, its ICR behavior can be tuned effectively. In addition to proposing underlying mechanisms for the phenomena observed, the results gathered in this study also provide necessary information for designing relevant devices.

Abstract
We study by coarse-grained molecular-dynamics simulations the liquid flow in a slit channel with the inner walls coated by semiflexible polymer brushes. The distance between walls is close enough such that polymers grafted to opposing walls interact among each other and form bundles across the channel in poor solvent conditions. The solvent is simulated explicitly, including particles that fill the interior of the channel. The system is studied in equilibrium and under flow, by applying a constant body force on each particle of the system. A non-linear relation between external force and flow rate is observed, for a particular set of parameters. This non-linear response is linked to a morphological change of the polymer brushes. For large enough forces, the bundle structures formed across the channel break as the chains lean in the direction of the flow, and clear the middle of the channel. This morphological alteration of the polymer configurations translates in a sudden increase in the flow rate, acting as a pressure-responsive gate. The relation between flow and external force is investigated for various parameters, such as grafting density, quality of the solvent and polymer bending rigidity. We observe a non-monotonic dependence of the flow as a function of the polymer rigidity, and find an optimum value for the persistence length. We also find that the force threshold at which the morphological changes happen in the polymer brush, depends linearly on the grafting density. These findings can lead to new flow control techniques in micro and nano-fluidic devices.

Abstract
Here, we report selective adsorption of cationic dyes methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB) and anionic dyes methyl orange (MO) and bromo cresol green (BCG) by modifying the surface of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) coated porous silica nanoparticles (PSN). We used a top down approach to synthesize PSN (porous silica nanoparticles) without high temperature calcination. X-ray diffraction study confirms the formation of pure phase silica nanoparticles. SEM analysis reveals that the particle morphology is spherical and the size range lies in-between 150–200 nm. We have studied the dye adsorption properties for three cases of PSN at varying calcination temperatures of 100 °C, 250 °C and 500 °C, respectively. Thermal study has been performed in the temperature range of 50–800 °C to check the calcination temperature. In this report, we have tuned the surface properties for selective adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes in water. In the first case, 100 °C calcined PSN selectively adsorb only anionic dyes, whereas in the second case, 500 °C calcined PSN adsorb only cationic dyes and finally, an optimized calcination temperature ≈250 °C could be used for all types of dye to be adsorbed irrespective of charges on the dyes. The mode of interaction of dyes with PSN has been explained with a proper mechanism in all three cases. The adsorptions of dyes are confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Adsorption capacity and regenerable performance of adsorbents have also been studied.

Abstract
The ability to tune ionic permeation across nanoscale pores profoundly impacts diverse fields from nanofluidic computing to drug delivery. Here, we take advantage of complex formation between crown ethers and dissolved metal ions to demonstrate graphene-based ion channels highly sensitive to externally applied lattice strain. We perform extensive room-temperature molecular dynamics simulations of the effects of tensile lattice strain on ion permeation across graphene-embedded crown ether pores. Our findings suggest the first instance of solid-state ion channels with an exponential permeation sensitivity to strain, yielding an order of magnitude ion current increase for 2% of isotropic lattice strain. Significant permeation tuning is also shown to be achievable with anisotropic strains. Finally, we demonstrate strain-controllable ion sieving in salt mixtures. The observed high mechanosensitivity is shown to arise from strain-induced control over the competition between ion-crown and ion-solvent interactions, mediated by the atomic thinness of graphene.

Abstract
In biological cells, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in cell membranes are capable of controlling the flow of ions, for example, Na+ , K+ , and Ca2+ by responding to stimuli, for example, pH and voltage. Inspired by NPCs, researchers have been endeavoring to develop nanogates to achieve the control of ion transport, but the developed nanogates only have a low factor of change in ion currents due to ON/OFF switching. As such nanopores with high temperature and pH responsivities were developed in this work. According to the experimental results, at a voltage of 3 V, the change in ion currents due to pH change is up to a factor of 170, which is remarkably high compared to other nanogates reported. Quantum chemical (QC) calculation results show that a protonated cytosine molecule (C+ ) and an unprotonated cytosine molecule (C) form three pairs of hydrogen bonds and consequently a nucleobase pair, CC+ , leading to the binding of various strands, assembly of a strand net, and blockage of ion transport. The nanogate developed is capable of responding to temperature change. At a voltage of 3 V, the factor of change in ion currents in response to temperature variation is as high as 110. Further experiments were performed to investigate the influence of the NaCl concentrations and small opening diameters exerted on nanogate performance.

Abstract
Controlled delivery of drug at a constant rate, in a sequential order, or responsive to environment conditions has been pursued for a long time to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic molecules and to minimize side effects of highly potent drugs. However, achieving such delicately-controlled delivery of a drug molecule is non-trivial and still remains a challenge. We propose the use of microchannels to control the rate, sequence, and pH-responsiveness of drug delivery for high precision and predictability. In this study, we introduce elementary drug delivery units consisting of micro-reservoirs and microchannels that have variations in their lengths, widths, numbers, and straightness. The release study demonstrates that the release rates of model drugs can be modulated by the design of microchannels. Finite element modeling of drug release predicts the performance of the drug delivery units with high accuracy. The possibility of sequential drug delivery is also demonstrated using biodegradable polymer plug in microchannels. Finally, pH-responsive delivery of drugs in microfluidic units is also discussed and demonstrated via cell viability tests. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In this work, we developed microchannel-based drug delivery devices whose release rate could be accurately calculated and controlled by design of microchannel geometry. Although there have been many advances in microfabricated drug delivery systems, in particular, reservoir-based systems, no systematic investigation has been made to utilize the release channels. In our work, an equivalent electrical circuit concept was applied to the microfluidic systems for more detailed design and analysis. A microfluidic channel was regarded as an electrical resistor; their diffusion/electrical flux could be tuned with geometric factors such as length, width, a number of channel/resistor and their connections. Furthermore, from delivery rate control using channel geometry, multifunctional channel-based release systems for sequential and pH-responsive were demonstrated.

Abstract
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we reveal ion rectification in charged nanocones with exit diameters of 1-2 nm. The simulations exhibit an opposite rectification current direction than experiments performed in conical channels with exit diameters larger than 5 nm. This can be understood by the fact that in ultranarrow charged cones screening ions are trapped close to the cone tip at both field directions, which necessitates them to be released from the cone in a correlated multi-ion fashion. Electroosmosis induced by a unidirectional ion flow is also observed.

Abstract
Ion transport through nanopores is an important process in nature and has important engineering applications. To date, most studies of nanopore ion transport have been carried out with electrolytes of relatively low concentrations. In this paper, we report on ionic current modulation from the translocation of dsDNA through a nanopore under high ionic strength and with an electrolyte concentration gradient across the nanopore. Results show that in this case, DNA translocation can induce either negative or positive ionic current modulation, even though usually only downward peaks are expected under this high ion concentration. Through a series of experiments and numerical simulations with nanopores of different diameters and concentration gradients, it is found that the positive pulse is due to extra ions outside the electric double layer of the DNA that are brought into the nanopore by the enhanced electroosmotic flow (EOF) with the negatively charged DNA inside the nanopore.

Abstract
The functions of biomedical imaging, cancer targeting, and controlled release of therapeutic agents were integrated into a drug delivery platform to proof its diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. This versatile nanocomposite is based on the strategic design of wormlike mesoporous silica nanocarriers that are decorated with extremely small iron oxide nanoparticles, having a prominent T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) signal. The controlled release function was then achieved through the grafting of polyalcohol saccharide derivative ligands onto the surfaces of mesoporous silica nanoparticles to conjugate with boronic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles, which acted as the gate and the source of computed tomography (CT) signals. This versatile platform thus exhibited a MRI/CT dual imaging property drawing on the strong points to offset the weaknesses of each, rendering more accurate diagnosis. The capping of gold nanoparticles controlled with the hydrolysis of boronate ester bonds provides the reversible opening/closing process, avoiding further release of drug once the nanocomposite leaves the cell or tissue. To endow this platform with targeting ability, protocatechuic acid was utilized as a linker to connect folic acid with the boronic acid of the gold nanoparticles. The anchor of targeting moiety, folic acid, enriched this platform and enhanced the specific cellular uptake toward cells with folate receptor. This integrated drug delivery platform was then loaded with the antitumor agent doxorubicin, demonstrating its power for targeted delivery, bioimaging, and controlled release chemotherapy to reduce the undesired side effects of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles have great potential as diagnostic and therapeutic agents in cancer and other diseases; however, biological aggregation severely limits their function in vivo. Aggregates can cause poor biodistribution, reduced heating capability, and can confound their visualization and quantification by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation of a functionalized mesoporous silica shell can prevent aggregation and enable the practical use of high-heating, high-contrast iron oxide nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo. Unmodified and mesoporous silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized in biologically relevant environments including phosphate buffered saline, simulated body fluid, whole mouse blood, lymph node carcinoma of prostate (LNCaP) cells, and after direct injection into LNCaP prostate cancer tumors in nude mice. Once coated, iron oxide nanoparticles maintained colloidal stability along with high heating and relaxivity behaviors (SARFe = 204 W/g Fe at 190 kHz and 20 kA/m and r1 = 6.9 mM(-1) s(-1) at 1.4 T). Colloidal stability and minimal nonspecific cell uptake allowed for effective heating in salt and agarose suspensions and strong signal enhancement in MR imaging in vivo. These results show that (1) aggregation can lower the heating and imaging performance of magnetic nanoparticles and (2) a coating of functionalized mesoporous silica can mitigate this issue, potentially improving clinical planning and practical use.

Abstract
The near-infrared (NIR) region (700-1100 nm) is the so-called transparency "therapeutic window" for biological applications owing to its deeper tissue penetration and minimal damage to healthy tissues. In recent years, various NIR-based therapeutic and interventional strategies, such as NIR-triggered drug delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are under research in intensive preclinical and clinical investigations for cancer treatment. The NIR control in these cancer therapy systems is considered crucial to boost local effective tumor suppression while minimizing side effects, resulting in improved therapeutic efficacy. Some researchers even predict the NIR-triggered cancer therapy to be a new and exciting possibility for clinical nanomedicine applications. In this review, the rapid development of NIR light-responsive cancer therapy based on various smartly designed nanocomposites for deep tumor treatments is introduced. In detail, the use of NIR-sensitive materials for chemotherapy, PTT as well as PDT is highlighted, and the associated challenges and potential solutions are discussed. The applications of NIR-sensitive cancer therapy modalities summarized here can highlight their potential use as promising nanoagents for deep tumor therapy.

Abstract
Nanoporous magnesium-zinc-silicon (n-MZS) xerogels with a pore size ∼4 nm, a surface area of 718 cm(2)/g, and a pore volume of 1.24 cm(3)/g were synthesized by a sol-gel method. The n-MZS xerogels had high capacity to load vancomycin hydrochloride (VH) and human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), after soaking in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 24 hours (1.5 and 0.8 mg/g, respectively). Moreover, the n-MZS xerogels exhibited the sustained release of VH and rhBMP-2 as compared with magnesium-zinc-silicon (MZS) xerogels without nanopores (showing a burst release). The VH/rhBMP-2/n-MZS system not only exhibited a good antibacterial property but also promoted the MG63 cell proliferation and differentiation demonstrating good bactericidal activity and cytocompatibility. The results suggested that n-MZS with larger surface area and high pore volume might be a promising carrier for loading and sustained release of VH and rhBMP-2. Hence, the VH/rhBMP-2/n-MZS system might be one of the promising biomaterials for osteomyelitis treatment and bone repair.

Abstract
We report a three-state nanofluidic field effect switch in an asymmetrically gated device with a forward (positive), off (zero), and a reverse (negative) current state for tunable control of ionic transport by systematically controlling the gate potential. The embedded gate electrode allows for modulation of the ionic current through the 16 nm deep channels as a function of electrolyte concentration and gate electrode location for a fixed streamwise potential.

Abstract
In medicine, nanotechnology has sparked a rapidly growing interest as it promises to solve a number of issues associated with conventional therapeutic agents, including their poor water solubility (at least, for most anticancer drugs), lack of targeting capability, nonspecific distribution, systemic toxicity, and low therapeutic index. Over the past several decades, remarkable progress has been made in the development and application of engineered nanoparticles to treat cancer more effectively. For example, therapeutic agents have been integrated with nanoparticles engineered with optimal sizes, shapes, and surface properties to increase their solubility, prolong their circulation half-life, improve their biodistribution, and reduce their immunogenicity. Nanoparticles and their payloads have also been favorably delivered into tumors by taking advantage of the pathophysiological conditions, such as the enhanced permeability and retention effect, and the spatial variations in the pH value. Additionally, targeting ligands (e.g., small organic molecules, peptides, antibodies, and nucleic acids) have been added to the surface of nanoparticles to specifically target cancerous cells through selective binding to the receptors overexpressed on their surface. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that multiple types of therapeutic drugs and/or diagnostic agents (e.g., contrast agents) could be delivered through the same carrier to enable combination therapy with a potential to overcome multidrug resistance, and real-time readout on the treatment efficacy. It is anticipated that precisely engineered nanoparticles will emerge as the next-generation platform for cancer therapy and many other biomedical applications.
