An erythrocyte membrane coated mimetic nano-platform for chemo-phototherapy and multimodal imaging.

The tumor variability and low efficiency associated with conventional chemical drugs provide an impetus to develop drug-carrying systems with targeted accumulation and controllable release behavior. Herein, DOX-loaded Prussian blue (PB) nano-composites are developed after coating with erythrocyte membrane (EM) and modifying with folic acid (FA). In these nano-composites, PB nanoparticles mixture with different shapes were adopted to improve the photothermal performance, which is highly helpful for cancer photothermal ablation and controllable drug release.
