Abstract

Abstract : In article number1706150, Zhiming Li, Yun Yang, Peng Huang, and co‐workers report a light‐responsive biodegradable nanorattle, a perfluoropentane‐filled mesoporous‐silica‐film‐coated gold nanorod, for enhanced ultrasound (US)/photoacoustic (PA) dual‐modality‐imaging‐guided photothermal therapy of melanoma. This cancer nanotheranostic platform exhibits excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, a distinct gas‐bubbling phenomenon, good US/PA imaging contrast, and remarkable photothermal efficiency.
