Schematic representation of theranostic approach to reduce osteoarthritis pain in rats by conjugation of NGF antibody with molybdenum disulfide nanosheet-coated gold nanorods (MoS2-AuNR) for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal analgesic treatment. Von Frey and rotarod tests were performed to evaluate the locomotive ability and balance of the animals, respectively. (reproduced with permission from Ref. [172], American Chemical Society 2021)
