چکیده (انگلیسی):

The upsurge of novel nanomaterials and nanotechnologies has inspired the researchers who
are striving for designing safer and more efficient drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.
Stimuli responsive nanomaterial offered an alternative to design controllable drug delivery
system on account of its spatiotemporally controllable properties. Additionally, external
stimuli (light, magnetic field and ultrasound) could develop into theranostic applications
for personalized medicine use because of their unique characteristics. In this review, we
give a brief overview about the significant progresses and challenges of certain externalstimuli
responsive systems that have been extensively investigated in drug delivery and
theranostics within the last few years.
