The recurrence and bone defect of malignant osteosarcoma postsurgical treatment have gained remarkable attention. Therefore, the development of multifunctional treatment platform is urgently desirable to achieve efficient tumor treatment and bone regeneration. In this paper, a multifunctional nanomaterial using mesoporous silica (MSN) as platform modified with quercetin (Qr), collagen (Col) and dopamine (PDA) was developed. Our findings demonstrated that the nanoparticles designed in this work had excellent photothermal properties and pH responsiveness. In addition, the nanoparticles had outstanding anti-tumor ability and could killed Saos-2 cells within 10 min under 808 nm laser irradiation owing to the synergistic effect of hyperthermia and Qr. Besides, the modification of PDA and Col endows the nanoparticles with excellent osteogenic activity.
