Phototherapy: Hierarchical Plasmonic Nanorods and Upconversion Core–Satellite Nanoassemblies for Multimodal Imaging‐Guided Combination Phototherapy (Adv. Mater. 5/2016)

DNA-driven hierarchical core–satellite nanostructures with plasmonic gold nanorods and upconversion nanoparticles are fabricated by L. Xu, H. Kuang, and co-workers, as described on page 898. Combined photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy under the guidance of multimodal imaging techniques are carried out and the photothermal efficiency of the designed architecture reaches 42.3%. The developed proposal exhibits the multifunctional biological applications of the DNA-based self-assemblies.
