Dual-mode-driven nanomotors targeting inflammatory macrophages for the MRI and synergistic treatment of atherosclerosis by Min Wei, Qiaoji Jiang, Shuang Bian, Pengzhao Chang, Bangbang Li, Changzhou Shi, Yangang Zhu, Yanchen Wang, Pingfu Hou, Jingjing Li

“…The asymmetric deposition of Pt on Gd-MCNs catalyzed H2O2 at the inflammatory site to produce O2, which could promote the self-motion of the nanomotor and ease inflammation microenvironment of AS plaque. Near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation promoted the photothermal conversion of Gd-MCNs to generate the thermal propulsion of nanomotor and photothermal ablation of inflammatory macrophages. …”
