Phototheranostics based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) offer the integration of imaging diagnostics and phototherapeutics. However, programmable control photoactivation therapy with minimum side effects is challenging due to lack ideal switchable UCNPs agents. Here we demonstrate a facile strategy switch near infrared emission at 800 nm from rationally designed by modulating irradiation laser into pulse output. We further synthesize theranostic nanoagent combining photosensitizer...

Abstract Compared with traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic devices, optoacoustic devices have unique advantages such as a simple preparation process, anti-electromagnetic interference, and wireless long-distance power supply. However, current remain limited due to low damage threshold energy conversion efficiency, which seriously hinder their widespread applications. In this study, using self-healing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Fe-Hpdca-PDMS) carbon nanotube composite, flexible patch is...

Developing multifunctional phototheranostics with nanoplatforms offers promising potential for effective eradication of malignant solid tumors. In this study, we develop a phototheranostic by combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic (PAT) based on tumor-targeting nanoagent (DBCO-ZnPc-LP). The DBCO-ZnPc-LP was facilely prepared self-assembling single lipophilic near-infrared (NIR) dye zinc(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) lipid-poly(ethylene glycol) (LP) following modified further...

Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic nanoparticles (ONPs) are emerging candidates for "one-for-all" theranostic nanomaterials with considerations of safety and formulation in mind. However, facile fabrication methods improvements the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) photostability likely needed before a clinically viable set emerges.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subset of and currently lacks effective therapeutic targets. As two main phototherapeutic methods, photothermal therapy (PTT) photodynamic (PDT) show many advantages in TNBC treatment, their combination with chemotherapy can achieve synergistic effects.

Abstract Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which uses reactive oxygen species to target tumors, has shown promise in the management of unresectable cancers. However, hypoxic tumor environment limits SDT efficiency, making complete destruction challenging. Here, a dual‐sonosensitizer nanoplatform is developed by loading an alkyl radical generator (2,2‐azobis[2‐(2‐imidazolin‐2‐yl)propane] dihydrochloride, AIPH) onto zirconium metal–organic framework (Zr‐MOF). The Zr‐MOF@AIPH nanoparticles (NPs) can...
