Advances in smart mesoporous carbon nanoplatforms for photothermal–enhanced synergistic cancer therapy

Nanoparticles-based phototherapy systems for cancer treatment: Current status and clinical potential

“…Recent research in inorganic photothermal systems has focused on improving their biocompatibility by combining ultrasmall particles in nanoarchitectures and by increasing the photothermal conversion factor [ 65 , 90 , 91 ]. Ultrasmall particles (<8 nm) can be readily excreted by the kidneys, improving the biocompatibility of the system [ 92 ].…”

“…Many good review articles on NPs-based cancer PT have been published so far elsewhere [ 53 , 60 , 61 ], and these reviews have different emphasis like focus on the NPs specific for PDT [ [62] , [63] , [64] ], specific NPs for PDT and PTT [ 65 , 66 ], or the clinical potential [ 7 ].…”

Porous carbon nanoarchitectonics for the environment: detection and adsorption

“…Such carbons are useful in a wide variety of applications such as electrocatalysts, energy storage/conversion, fuel cells, carrier for drug delivery, adsorbents for impurities in water/ fuel, and sensing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). [123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130] Highly porous carbons are generally obtained from various precursors, including biomasses and polymers, via hightemperature carbonization and activation [131][132][133][134][135][136] in addition to the nanocasting method. The hard templating nanocasting method requires an additional step to remove the templated materials to get the well-structured porous carbon.…”

A bimodal type of AgPd Plasmonic Blackbody Nanozyme with boosted catalytic efficacy and synergized photothermal therapy for efficacious tumor treatment in the second biological window

“…Photothermal effect is a phenomenon associated with material absorption of electromagnetic waves, resulting in the production of thermal energy (heat). This effect has been utilized for effective cancer treatment, i.e., photothermal therapy (PTT), by localized non-invasive therapeutic interventions through tumor-seated photothermal agents, which generate hyperthermia to kill tumor cells (via heating them to 42-45 °C or even higher) [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. Indeed, marriage of PTT with nanozyme (using Fe 3 O 4 nanozyme and Pd nanosheet complexes, and platinum nanozymes coated with porous gold nanoshell) was observed to yield an enhanced tumor theranostics through visible or near infrared light in the first biological window (NIR-I, 650-950 nm) [50][51][52][53][54].…”
