Abstract:Photothermal therapy, combined with chemotherapy, holds
promising
prospects for the therapeutic outcome of malignant tumors. However,
the synergistic therapeutic effect suffers from low coloading capacity
and inefficient synchronous tumor-targeting delivery of chemodrug
and photothermal photosensitizers. Herein, we designed a versatile
carrier-free nanoplatform to seek improvement for chemo-photothermal
therapy. An NIR photosensitizer IR-808 was used for noninvasive cancer
imaging, diagnosis, and imaging-guide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
