The development of high-performance photosensitizers to enhance photodynamic therapy for anti-tumor effects

There are several limitations in the clinical research of photodynamic therapy (PDT) that warrant attention, including enhancing the selectivity and specificity of photosensitizers, as well as addressing the challenges posed by the hypoxic microenvironment in tumors. Our research team has been dedicated to the preparation and application of photosensitizers for an extended period. We have successfully synthesized a variety of nanomaterials, such as carbon dots and metal-organic frameworks, which can be utilized for enhanced PDT in treating tumors.
