Ultrasound molecular imaging as a non-invasive companion diagnostic for netrin-1 interference therapy in breast cancer.

abstract：:The ability to selectively destroy cancer cells while sparing normal tissue is highly desirable during the cancer therapy. Here, magnetic targeted photothermal therapy was demonstrated by the integration of MoS2 (MS) flakes and Fe3O4 (IO) nanoparticles (NPs), where MoS2 converted near-infrared (NIR) light into heat an...
