In vivo covalent cross-linking of photon-converted rare-earth nanostructures for tumour localization and theranostics
Directing nanomedicines to desired locations - such as tumour sites - is difficult to achieve selectively. Here, the authors develop a method to covalently crosslink peptide-modified upconversion nanocrystals into tumour sites for photodynamic therapy and show in vivotumour inhibition in mice.
