“…23,24 In order to realize precise PDT, instead of eradicating selfquenching, ACQ can be taken advantage of as a "lock" to switch off the photoactivity in noncancerous tissues, turning waste into treasure. 25,26 By the "key" stimulation of cancer-specic microenvironments or biomarkers, for example, low pH, 27,28 hypoxia, 29,30 or high levels of glutathione (GSH), 31,32 ROS, 33 and proteases, 34,35 PSs are activated to generate 1 O 2 under irradiation, and thereby to realize tumor-specic PDT. 36 However, single-factor activatable PSs are still unsatisfactory in terms of precise control of 1 O 2 release, because they may potentially pose the issue of nonspecic activation and even cause "false positive" results in the complex environment in vivo.…”
