Bacterial outer membrane vesicles as cationic dye carriers for optoacoustics-guided phototherapy of cancer

Abstract Background Cationic dyes are widely used as biomarkers for optical imaging. However, most of these are hydrophobic and cannot be employed in vivo without chemical conjugation or modification. Herein, we report for the first time the use of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) as nanocar...
