title: Liposome supported metal oxide nanoparticles: interaction mechanism, light controlled content release, and intracellular delivery.
abstract: Zwitterionic phosphotydylcholine lipo-somes stably adsorb a number of metal oxide nanoparticles via its phosphate group. This is different from physisorption and fusion with SiO2. The hybrid materials can be internalized by cancer cells and TiO2 allows light controlled liposome content release.
