A multifunctional persistent luminescent nanoprobe for imaging guided dual-stimulus responsive and triple-synergistic therapy of drug resistant tumor cells.

We report the design and fabrication of a multifunctional persistent luminescent nanoprobe for imaging guided dual-stimulus responsive and triple-synergistic therapy of drug resistant tumor. The integration of the dual-stimulus of an acidic microenvironment and laser irradiation with the triple-synergistic therapy of doxorubicin, photothermal and siRNA offers excellent therapeutic performance for drug resistant tumor cells with high specificity and little side effects.
