Abstract 

Innovative nanoparticles hold promising potential for disease therapy as drug delivery systems. For brain‐disease therapy, a drug delivery system that can sustainably control drug‐release and monitor fluorescence of the drug cargos is highly desirable. In this study, a light‐traceable and intracellular microenvironment‐responsive drug delivery system was developed based on the combination of glutathione‐responsive autoflurescent nanogel, dendrimer‐like mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and gold nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid nanoparticles represent a new class of delivery system that can efficiently load, transport, and control multistage‐release of sulfydryl‐containing drugs into neurons, with light‐traceable monitoring for future brain‐disease therapy.
