Preparation of Magnetic–Luminescent Bifunctional Rapeseed Pod-Like Drug Delivery System for Sequential Release of Dual Drugsâ€
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
- Abstract; The results of the study should be highlighted. Additionally, some quantity results must be added to this section.
- Introduction; Line 56-58; Depending on the contact of the nanorod with the cell surface, the internalization process may be difficult. It is recommended to read the following article for more information: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nantod.2020.101057
- Introduction; Line 71-74; Slow-release (Sustained release) can increase the effects of multi-drug resistance. I suggest you read the following article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconrel.2020.08.012
- What is the main contribution of this manuscript compared to previously published ones?
- Add more discussion about the results extracted from figures. This is one of the main shortcomings of this manuscript.
- Results-Morphological observation; Line 312-315; The size of the carrier is large, so limited its applications, especially in anti-cancer applications. Discuss in this regard.
- Results-Drug release evaluation:
- There is no logical explanation for what happened.
- In response to which stimulus is the drug released?
- If released without response, the carrier is shown to be unstable, which will lead to various side effects.
- In Figure 6 (B-E), the vertical axis caption is not "drug release rate" but "percentage of drug released". However, it is suggested that additional explanations be added regarding the release rate.
