Abstract
Leveraging X-rays to induce prolonged luminescence (radio-afterglow) and radiodynamic effects from typically inorganic optical agents enables diagnosis and therapy at light-inaccessible tissue depths. Now, a cascade X-ray energy conversion approach is developed to increase the intrinsically low X-ray conversion efficiency of organic molecules for the construction of radio-afterglow nanoprobes for cancer theranostics.
