Core Tip	The prevalence of thrombosis, the formation of life-threatening clots obstructing vital blood vessels, continues to rise. Accurate diagnosis and rapid recanali-zation of an occluded artery is essential to improve outcomes and reduce the mortality in acute myocardial infarction or stroke. The current thrombo-lytic therapy often fails to diminish the occlusion and is associated with a high rate of hemorrhagic complications. Develop-ment of directed nanosystems for local thrombolysis, characterized by a strong fibrinolytic effect and low bleeding risk, is therefore one of the most urgent tasks in the prevention and the therapy of acute thrombotic events.
