Heat stimulation can promote osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Combining photothermal therapy and chemotherapy is an effective strategy for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, we prepared chitosan/gelatin/β-glycerophosphate-melanin-methotrexate (CMM) hydrogel that could be used to perform simultaneous chemotherapy and photothermal therapy for patients with RA.

Background: Heat generation in a drug delivery carrier by exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light with excellent tissue transmittance is an effective strategy for drug release and tumor therapy. Because liposomes have amphiphilic properties, they are useful as drug carriers. Liposomes are also very suitable for drug delivery strategies using heat generation by NIR laser because lipid bilayers are easily broken by heat.
