The development of tumor acidic microenvironment-responsive theranostic agents is a research hotspot. Herein, we developed highly photostable amphiphilic croconium dye-anchored red blood cell membrane vesicle (denoted as LET-5) for tumor pH-responsive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) duplex imaging-guided photothermal

A precise and complete thermodynamic, Raman spectroscopic, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) optical characterization of the deltic, squaric, and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids is obtained using theoretical solid-state methods employing very demanding calculation parameters. The computed fundamental thermodynamic properties include the isobaric

Polymeric nanomaterials made from amphiphilic block copolymers are increasingly used in the treatment of tumor tissues. In this work, we firstly synthesized the amphiphilic block copolymer PBnMA-b-P(BAPMA-co-PEGMA) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using benzyl methacrylate (BnMA), poly (ethylene

In the development and optimization of imaging methods, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has become a powerful tool for preclinical biomedical diagnosis and detection of cancer. PAI probes can improve contrast and help identify pathogenic tissue. Such contrast agents must meet several
