Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been recognized as a viable alternative strategy against bacterial biofilm infection. However, hyperthermia required for PTT to ablate biofilm usually induced damage of normal tissue/organ...
A photo-stable and reversible pH-responsive phenazine dye displayed an obvious NIR absorption in a weak acid environment of tumor. The dye assembled into nanoparticles was developed for photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy in mice.
Polydopamine-doped mesoporous silica nanocomposites (PMSNs) were controllably synthesized by a one-pot approach. They were demonstrated to be good biodegradability, pH-responsive drug release and targeting synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy.
A multifunctional nanocomposite was synthesized by linking pH-responsive prodrug onto gold nanocrystals that were grown in situ on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles, which is bioimaging-guided multifunctional synergistic therapy agent.
