DNA‐driven hierarchical core–satellite nanostructures with plasmonic gold nanorods and upconversion nanoparticles are fabricated by L. Xu, H. Kuang, and co‐workers, as described on page 898. Combined photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy under the guidance of multimodal imaging techniques are carried out and the photothermal efficiency of the designed architecture reaches 42.3%. The developed proposal exhibits the multifunctional biological applications of the DNA‐based self‐assemblies.
