Rationale: Antitumor drug delivery faces multiple barriers that require consecutively achieving tumor targeting, selective cellular uptake and sufficient intracellular drug dosage. Methods: Herein, we designed smart nanoparticles (GPDC-MSNs) that can accumulate stepwise in tumor tissues, selectively enter cancer cells by
