Developing smart photosensitizers sensitively responding to tumor-specific signals for
reduced side effects and enhanced anticancer efficacy is a major challenge for tumor …

Enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an effective anticancer
strategy. However, it is a great challenge to control the production and to image ROS in vivo …

Background: Multifunctional nanoplatforms with diagnostic-imaging and targeted therapeutic
functionality (theranostics) are of great interest in the field of precision nanomedicine. The …

The iridium (III)–cyanine complex (IrCy) was fabricated by conjugating an iridium (III)
complex to a cyanine dye with an intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption. IrCy complex …

A terrylenedicarboximide–anthraquinone dyad, FTQ, with absorption in the second near-
infrared region (NIR-II) is obtained as a high-performance chromophore for photothermal …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their
unique advantages in minimal invasiveness and spatiotemporal selectivity. However, the …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photothermal therapy (PTT) can realize real-time
diagnosis and in situ treatment of cancer at the same time. Absorption in the near-infrared …

The poly (maleic anhydride‐alt‐1‐octadecene‐poly (ethylene glycol))(C18PMH‐PEG)
modified single‐walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) are designed with high stability and …

Chemically defined conjugated small molecules (CSMs) and their nanoparticles (CSMNs)
have been widely used in phototheranostics. However, CSMNs have rarely been studied for …

“One-for-all” multifunctional theranostic agents are highly demanded in biomedical fields.
However, their design and fabrication still face enormous challenges. Herein, we …
