Abstract:Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an effective tumor treatment strategy that not only induces photocytotoxicity to kill tumor cells directly but also activates the immune system in the body to generate tumor-specific immunity, preventing cancer metastasis and recurrence. However, some limitations of PDT limit the therapeutic efficacy in deep tumors. Previous studies have used different types of nanoparticles (NPs) as drug carriers of photosensitizers (PSs) to overcome the shortcomings of PDT and improve therapeuti… Show more
Microorganisms can create microbe-material hybrids for biomedical uses like bioimaging, anti-tumor, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory treatments. These hybrids hold promise for the development of next-gen nanomedicine and biomaterials.
