Among them, PTT has been widely demonstrated as a prospective non-invasive therapeutic regimen for cancer. PTT delivers photosensitiser to tumor tissues with high light-to-heat conversion performance and uses near-infrared (NIR) light radiation to generate heat to kill cancer cells and suppress ...
Hypoxia has also been found to upregulate CD44 expression16. CD44-IR700-mediated PIT retained potent phototoxicity under hypoxia and may serve as an attractive treatment to destroy hypoxic cancer cells that are typically resistant to radiation and chemotherapy and display a more aggressive phenotype44....
