Surface-engineered core–shell upconversion nanoparticles for effective hypericin delivery and multimodal imaging
Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-2-aminoethylacrylate)-alendronate-coated core–shell upconversion nanoparticles have considerable potential for effective delivery of hypericin to tumors. The particles enabled multimodal detection of cancer cells.
