A Chloroplast-Inspired Theranostic Nanoplatform for Self-Sustaining Oxygen-Elevating Photodynamic Therapy and Glutathione-Triggered Carbon-Centered Radical Synergistic Therapy
Abstract Achieving precise drug delivery to the tumor site can minimize systemic side effects caused by off-target effects. As a therapy that depends on oxygen content, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is significantly constrained by the hypoxic nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Compared with the limited efficacy of single PDT, the combination of multiple treatment modalities can achieve synergistic enhancement and superior therapeutic outcomes. Since carbon radical therapy does not rely on oxygen as a reactive …
