Abstract

Abstract : On page 3273, P. Huang, X. Chen, and co‐workers report a versatile biomimetic theranostic agent based on magnetic melanin nanoparticles (MMNs). This agent enables guided photothermal cancer therapy combining positron‐emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance (MR), photoacoustic (PA), and photothermal (PT) for multimodal‐imaging. MMNs also exhibit efficient shielding against UV‐ and γ‐irradiation.
