Tumor hypoxia is typically presented in the central region of solid tumors, which mainly caused by an inadequate blood flow and oxygen supply. In conventional treatment hypoxic human not only oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy (PDT), but also antitumor drug-based chemotherapy, considerably limited. The use direct delivering approach with PDT or chemotherapy may potentiate reactive species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity drug toward normal tissues. Herein, a synergetic one-for-all mesoporous...

Real-time monitoring of vessel dysfunction is great significance in preclinical research. Optical bioimaging the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window provides advantages including high resolution and fast feedback. However, reported molecular dyes are hampered by limited blood circulation time (~ 5-60 min) short absorption emission wavelength, which impede accurate long-term monitoring. Here, we report a NIR-II molecule (LZ-1105) with beyond 1000 nm. Thanks to long (half-life 3.2 h),...
