Protein-coated cobalt oxide–hydroxide nanospheres deliver photosensitizer IR780 iodide for near-infrared light-triggered photodynamic/photothermal/chemodynamic therapy against colon cancer

Abstract

Phototherapy has garnered worldwide attention for its minimal invasiveness, controllability, and spatial selectivity in treating cancer. One promising approach involves the use of near-infrared dye IR780, which demonstrates both photodynamic...
