pH-sensitive loaded retinal/indocyanine green micelles as an "all-in-one" theranostic agent for multi-modal imaging in vivo guided cellular senescence-photothermal synergistic therapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 May 28;55(44):6209-6212. doi: 10.1039/c9cc02567g.

Abstract

In this study, pH-sensitive loaded retinal/indocyanine green (ICG) micelles were developed to realize novel approaches for cellular senescence-photothermal synergistic therapy to treat cancer. The micelles could enable effective multi-modal imaging in vivo guided therapy and show anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo with satisfactory biosafety.
