Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide A combination of biomedical imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a single nanomaterial would be a breakthrough in nanomedicine. However, devising a single photosensitizer capable of efficient PDT without requiring an external oxygen source under typically hypoxic tumor conditions, combined with high photostability, biocompatibility, and renal clearance, remains a challenge. Atomically precise ultrasmall (
