Abstract | A multifunctional photosensitive and photothermal nanomedicine, AMP-Ce6-HA, was prepared by sequentially layering hard and soft functional molecules. AMP-Ce6-HA was efficiently picked up by MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, and then released oxygen in lysosomes. The photothermal and oxygen-enhanced photodynamic combination therapy was much more effective than the single one. |
