Abstract:Multifunctional nanomedicines have been used in atherosclerosis theranostics. Herein, phosphatidylserine‐specific peptide CLIKKPF‐functionalized carbon‐dots nanozymes (pep‐CDs) are reported for specific and efficient noninvasive theranostic of atherosclerosis. Surprisingly, pep‐CDs are discovered to not only inherit the inherent properties of carbon dots (CDs), including deep‐red fluorescence emission, photoacoustic response, and superoxide dismutase‐like antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory activities but also … Show more
