Abstract :
Organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles show great potentials of multimodal bio-imaging and “theranostic”. We introduce the synthesis/functionalization of photosensitizer encapsulated ORMOSIL nanoparticles, and report their applications in tumor diagnosis and photodynamic therapy.
