Fluorescent Silicon Nanorods-Based Nanotheranostic Agents for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy
Abstract
A kind of multifunctional silicon-based theranostic agent is fabricated and exploited for imaging-guided tumor-targeted photothermal therapy.The obtained gold nanoparticles-decorated fluorescent silicon nanorods featuring high photothermal conversion performance and good photothermal stability enable a total ablation of tumors and prolong the survival time of mice.
