A biomimetic photoacoustic nano-probe is synthesized for enhanced the diagnostic accuracy of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is prepared by using erythrocyte membrane to coat the gold nano-star which shows significant photothermal effect. This probe can escape the clearance by mononuclear phagocytic system because of the inherent proteins on the surface of the erythrocyte membrane. Such an ability to evade immune clearance allows a longer circulation time in vivo, promotes probe enrichment at tumor site, and improves signal-to-noise ratio. Sequentially, it is used as an agent of non-invasive photothermal treatment for tumor and experimentally perform a longer life span of mice.
