Nanoparticles are gaining increase of attention as a novel class of therapeutics for cancer [1]. The liver has been recognized as a highly promising organ for nanocarrierbased targeting [2].We have previously shown that polar groups (e.g. amino or carboxyl groups) modify the cellular uptake of nanoparticles and one can use such functionalization for efficient tumour targeting [3]. Here, we show that surface functionalization and stability of the nanoparticle core can be used for selective triggering of various biological effects in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HuH7).
