Nanoparticle sensor enables precision timing of light-based cancer treatment
Mar 10, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Light can destroy cancer cells, but only if drugs activated by that light are present in sufficient quantities within the tumor. This seemingly simple requirement has complicated photodynamic therapy since its inception. Without a way to directly measure drug activation and cell death, doctors must...
