Abstract

We discovered porphysomes as intrinsically multifunctional nanovesicles. They have structure-dependent fluorescence self-quenching and unique photoacoustic and photothermal properties. We investigated the photothermal therapy efficacy of porphysomes using subcutaneous tumour model and orthotopic prostate tumor model.
