Exfoliated 2D MnO2 nanosheets described by J. Shi, L. Wang, and co-workers on page 7019, show a unique break-up nature in mild acidic microenvironment of tumor tissues, which could substantially enhance the in vitro and in vivo performances of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Such a pH-triggered break-up nature can also promote the fast release of loaded anticancer drugs for concurrent pH-responsive theranostics of cancer.
