Core-shell biodegradable electrospun nanofibers for enhanced cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT)
| Summary: | [Excerpt] Introduction Over the last years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has acquiring increasing attention for the treatment of cancer due its minimal invasiveness and intrinsic selectivity. This therapeutic strategy is based on the combination of a photosensitizer (PS), light and molecular oxygen present in tissues, which will generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cell death and tissue destruction [1].[...] |
