Article Synopsis
- Phototherapy has the potential to change cancer treatment, but existing methods often lack the ability to specifically target tumors, leading to side effects and heat damage from constant external light.
- A new nanoplatform has been created that activates in acidic environments and doesn't require continuous irradiation, allowing for more precise and effective cancer therapies.
- This platform uses tumor-specific agents and advanced imaging techniques to deliver targeted treatment, minimizing side effects and improving efficiency in cancer care.
Article Synopsis
- Photodynamic sterilization is an effective approach to treat bacterial infections, especially those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, but conventional methods have limitations in depth and targeting.
- A new method involves a pH-reversible near-infrared photosensitizer nanocapsule designed for specific targeting of bacteria, which allows for precision imaging and reduces harm to normal tissues.
- This innovative nanocapsule enhances antibacterial effectiveness through an added allicin mimic and a design that improves blood circulation, showcasing potential for practical medical applications.
