Developing lysosome-targeting organic nanoparticles combined with photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) functions toward personalized medicine are highly desired yet challenging. Here, for the first time, lysosome-targeting BODIPY nanoparticles were engineered by encapsulating near-infrared (NIR) absorbed BODIPY dye within amphiphilic DSPE-mPEG5000 for high-performing lysosomal PAI and acid-activatable PDT against cancer cells under NIR light.
