The development of novel theranostic agents is a key initiative to address current limitations in disease diagnosis and therapy. Notably, targeting cyanine dyes (TCDs), by virtue of their excellent optical imaging performance, versatile structural modifiability, and multi-dimensional targeting specificity, facilitate the directional recognition of disease regions and exhibit tremendous application potential in theranostics. While a variety of TCDs ...
