Theranostic Gold Nanomicelles made from Biocompatible Comb‐like Polymers for Thermochemotherapy and Multifunctional Imaging with Rapid Clearance

A new generation of photothermal theranostic agents based on assembling 6 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed by using a novel comb-like amphipathic polymer as the template. The small AuNPs are assembled into DOX@gold nanomicelles, which show strong absorbance in the near-infrared region, for multimodal bioimaging and highly effective in vivo chemotherapy and photothermal therapy.
