Abstract

Designing nanomaterials for bio-imaging and drug delivery for advanced cancer therapy with biodegradability and biocompatibility is a promising but challenging frontier. Herein, we assembled biodegradable and biocompatible ultrathin rare-earth erbium/dysprosium nanosheets that improve contrast in multimodal bio-imaging settings (MRI and X-ray CT) and deliver CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid to treat tumors. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.
