TL;DR: This work established a simple and efficient strategy for both diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer with a novel trigger mechanism, which provides a new route for colon cancer theranostics based on the in-situ reactions at the tumor sites.

TL;DR: The dual-targeted nanoplatform demonstrated the highest anticancer efficacy compared with nontargeted counterparts under NIR light sensitization.

TL;DR: An overview of the strategies used to improve CDT performance, including the increased production, accelerated generation, and enhanced efficacy of hydroxyl radicals, is provided to stimulate the development of non-invasive and efficacious CDT techniques.

TL;DR: This work provides an effective treatment for cancer and further develops the CDT by photothermal-enhanced CDT based on single WO3- x@γ-PGA NPs using a penetrating near-infrared-II laser both in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: A mitochondria-targeting nanoplatform for near-infrared-light-controlled release of nitric oxide accompanied by photothermal therapy was developed, which consists of ruthenium nitrosyl functionalized N-doped graphene quantum dots and a triphenylphosphonium moiety.
