Diagrammatic representation of the concept of targeted theranostics: a Liposome cavity is loaded with the anti-cancerous drug and the surface of the liposomal nanoparticle is coated with ligand for the targeted and specific delivery of the drug. In addition to this, tracer helps in the accurate screening and diagnosis of cancer cells. b Transferrin is conjugated to vitamin-ED-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) micelle for targeted co-delivery of therapeutic drug (docetaxel) and diagnostic agent (AuNC) as theranostic.
