title: Cancer Cell Membrane-Coated Upconversion Nanoprobes for Highly Specific Tumor Imaging.
abstract: Cancer cell membrane-coated upconversion nanoprobes (CC-UCNPs) with immune escape and homologous targeting capabilities are used for highly specific tumor imaging. The combination of UCNPs with biomimetic cancer cell membranes embodies a novel materials design strategy and presents a compelling class of advanced materials.
