“…Various components such as drugs, energy sources, imaging probes, stimuli-sensitive elements, and targeting agents are assembled into a nanoplatform to obtain these integrated nanostructures . Different NPs, including magnetic, , gold, , polymer, , and silica , NPs, and fluorescent QDs and CDs have been used for the development of theranostic NPs . Recently, some advanced nanomaterials with simultaneous optical, magnetic, and therapeutic activities have also been reported and used to develop multifunctional nanostructures. ,, Design and development of smart theranostic NPs with specific targeting and labeling of cancer cells, efficient and controlled delivery of therapeutic agents into the specific sites, and following up the treatment progress over time are fields of interest .…”
