Aptamer-guided theranostic nanomedicine. (A) Schematic representation of aptamer-associated theranostic nanomedicine. (B) Schematic illustration of the novel activatable theranostic nanoprobe (ATNP) strategy for aptamer-mediated imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) in vivo. (C) In vivo aptamer-related activatable fluorescence imaging (a) and imaging-guided site-specific NIR PTT (b) of SPCAi (cyan circles) and A549 (pink circles) tumor following ATNP administration.
