Small-sized copolymeric nanoparticles for tumor penetration and intracellular drug release.

Poor solid-tumor penetration of nanocarriers limits the drug efficacy. Herein, small-sized copolymeric nanoparticles are prepared for delivering the chemotherapeutic drug DOX into solid tumors deeply and releasing the drug effectively. These small-sized copolymeric nanoparticles represent substantial potential for clinical translation.
