Charge Regulated pH/NIR Dual Responsive Nanoplatforms Centered on Cuproptosis for Enhanced Cancer Theranostics

Multifunctional nanoplatforms capable of simultaneously executing multimodal therapy and imaging functions are of great potentials for cancer theranostics. We present an elegantly designed, easy-to-fabricate poly(acrylic acid)/mesoporous calcium phosphate/mesoporous copper phosphate nanosphere (PAA/mCaP/mCuP NS) with outstanding pH/NIR-sensitive multimodal-synergic anti-tumor effects. Optimal porous PAA NS scaffolds were prepared at room temperature by balancing the intra-PAA polymer and polymer-solvents Lennard-Jones potentials in a water:isopropyl alcohol (IPA) mix-solvent. Subsequent sponging of Ca
