Abstract:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective strategy for
cancer
treatment, which offers advantages such as rapid effectiveness, low
toxicity, and minimal trauma. However, one of the key components of
PDT, photosensitizers, typically requires excitation by ultraviolet
or visible light to function, which limits the application of this
therapy to some extent. To address the above issues, in this research,
a composite material UCNPs@SiO2–ZnPc-Fe(OH)3 (USZ-Fe(OH)3) was prepared for photochemo-dynamic
therapy (PCDT) … Show more
