The collaborated assembly of hydrophobic curcumin and hydrophilic cyanine dye into nanocolloid for synergistic chemo-photothermal cancer therapy

Carrier-free nanomedicine represents a new opportunity of using less inert materials for efficient drug delivery. To date, most reported carrier-free nanomedicine systems rely heavily on π-π stacking interaction between hydrophobic drugs. This work found that the hydrophilic IR783 dye can collaborat...
