Abstract

A facile and versatile synthetic route (templated framework pyrolysis) toward the construction of a new colloidal carbon nanosystem based on red blood cell (RBC)-shaped, hydrophilic, and hollow mesoporous carbon nanocapsules (HMCNs) is developed for highly efficient biomedical engineering, including stimuli-responsive drug release, inhibiting the metastasis, and circumventing the multidrug resistance of cancer cells.
