Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are
natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic …

Surgical resection of solid tumors is currently the gold standard and preferred therapeutic
strategy for cancer. Chemotherapy drugs also make a significant contribution by inhibiting …

Aggregation induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers have attracted great attention due to
their good performance in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the therapeutic effect of …

The folate receptor (FR) is a recognised biomarker for tumour cells due to its overexpression
on a large number of tumours. Consequently, the FR has been exploited by many diagnostic …

Herein, we report an activatable near‐infrared (NIR) afterglow theranostic prodrug that
circumvents high background noise interference caused by external light excitation. The …

The ability to gain spatiotemporal information, and in some cases achieve spatiotemporal
control, in the context of drug delivery makes theranostic fluorescent probes an attractive …

Recently, molecularly fluorophores for nanotheranostics, bridging in vivo imaging and
therapeutic capability within unimolecular system, has attracted increasing attention …

Theranostics provides opportunities for precision cancer therapy. However, theranostic
probes that simultaneously turn on their diagnostic signal and pharmacological action only …

Companion diagnostics (CDx) provides critical information for precision medicine. However,
current CDx is mostly limited to in vitro tests, which cannot accurately evaluate the disease …

Development of “smart” noninvasive bioimaging probes for trapping specific enzyme
activities is highly desirable for cancer therapy in vivo. Given that β-galactosidase (β-gal) is …
