Recent advances in photodynamic therapy based on emerging two-dimensional layered nanomaterials

Characteristics, properties, synthesis and advanced applications of 2D graphdiyne versus graphene

“…Due to large specific surface area and wide absorption in the visible light range, both GR and GDY show potential for their use in the biomedical field mainly for drug loading improvement, photothermal therapy (PTT) and tumor photoacoustic imaging (PAI). 230–238 In 2017, Li et al carried out PAI and photothermal therapy PTT with PEGylated GDY (GDY-PEG) for the first time on living mice for in vivo cancer treatment (Fig. 9b).…”

Biomedical nanomaterials for the enhancement of immunogenic cell death-based cancer immunotherapy

“…高药物吸收利用率 [8] , 延长药物半衰期, 实现高效靶向递送 [9] . 此外, 协同化疗 [10] 、放疗 [11] 、光动力治疗 (photodynamic therapy, PDT) [12] 及各种联合治疗 [13] 方式, 纳米材料可发挥肿瘤微环境(tumor microenvironment, TME)刺激响应、药物缓释等作用. 更重要地, 纳米材料在肿瘤 ICD 治疗中作为有效的 ICD 诱 导剂载体, 对于激活机体抗肿瘤免疫、产生长效抗肿瘤效果具有重要意义.…”

Black phosphorus nanosheet-based new drug delivery system for the anticancer agents: A review

“…PEG-NH2 has excellent biocompatibility and has been widely utilized in the sector of biomedicine. BPNSs modified with PEG-NH2 via electrostatic adsorption also exhibited good biocompatibility and physiological stability, with almost no aggregation or degradation, as observed through UV-vis absorption spectra and therefore the Tyndall effect [46][47][48][49].…”
