The major challenge in current chemotherapy is to increase local effective therapeutic
concentration of drugs as well as to minimize toxicity and side effects for patients. The …

Background: The construction of theranostic nanosystems with concurrently high biosafety
and therapeutic performance is a challenge but has great significance for the clinical …

An efficient pH-responsive multifunctional polypeptide micelle for simultaneous imaging and
in vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been prepared. The goal here is to detect and treat …

Therapeutic efficacy of synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy
(PTT) is limited by complex conjugation chemistry, absorption wavelength mismatch, and …

Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic small molecules hold great promise as the
phototheranostic agents for clinical translation by virtue of their intrinsic advantages such as …

Theranostic, which integrates the diagnosis and tumor treatment in tandem, is an emerging
strategy in cancer treatment. Here, we report a novel and unique theranostic nanoparticle …

As a noninvasive treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy against
tumors. It is based on photosensitizer (PS)-induced phototoxicity after irradiation. However …

Chemotherapy for brain glioma has been of limited benefit due to the inability of drugs to
penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and non-selective drug accumulation in the entire …

Multimodal phototheranostics on the basis of a single molecule with one‐for‐all
characteristics represents a convenient approach for effective cancer treatment. In this …

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. The existing therapeutic
regimen in the clinic for advanced inoperable carcinomas are far from satisfactory, thus it is …
