Poor targeting of therapeutics leading to severe adverse effects on normal tissues is
considered one of the obstacles in cancer therapy. To help overcome this, nanoscale drug …

Chemotherapy is widely recognized as an effective approach for treating cancer due to its
ability to eliminate cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs. However, traditional …

Type-I photosensitizers (PSs) generate cytotoxic oxygen radicals by electron transfer even in
a hypoxic environment. Nevertheless, the preparation of type-I PSs remains a challenge due …

Cucurbit [n] uril (CB [n]) macrocycles (especially CB [5] to CB [8]) have shown exceptional
attributes since their discovery in 2000. Their stability, water solubility, responsiveness to …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), with its advantages of high targeting, minimally invasive, and
low toxicity side effects, has been widely used in the clinical therapy of various tumors …

The increasing cancer morbidity and mortality requires the development of high-efficiency
and low-toxicity anticancer approaches. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a two-stage treatment that implies the use of light energy,
oxygen, and light-activated compounds (photosensitizers) to elicit cancerous and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), combining photosensitizers (PSs) and excitation light at a
specific wavelength to produce toxic reactive oxygen species, has been a novel and …

In this study, unique hypoxia-activated hyaluronic acid nanogels (HANGs) were reported for
CD44-targeted delivery of photosensitizers (chlorin e6, Ce6) for diagnostic imaging and …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common primary intracranial tumors in the
central nervous system with poor prognosis, high invasiveness, risk of recurrence and low …
