Abstract

Abstract : A multifunctional nanostructure integrates photodynamic therapy with photothermal therapy and upconversion luminescence imaging into one system for enhanced antitumor efficiency. Abstract : A multifunctional nanostructure is prepared by covalently grafting upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with chitosan functionalized MoS2 (MoS2 –CS) and folic acid (FA) and then loading phthalocyanine (ZnPc) on the surface of MoS2, which integrates photodynamic therapy (PDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) and upconversion luminescence imaging into one system for enhanced antitumor efficiency.
