A multifunctional nanoplatform (USiCeCurAu) integrating UCNPs, AuNPs, CeO2, and TK‐CUR‐TPP enables synergistic PDT, CDT, and mPTT. The AuNPs act as pore lockers, UCNPs convert NIR into UV/Vis emission, which triggers AuNPs aggregation, TPP‐CUR‐mediated mitochondria damage for HSP70 suppression, and CeO2‐enabled dual role in ROS generation and ...
