Nanoparticles for X-ray or Cherenkov radiation-induced photodynamic therapy
Reference Module in Materials Science and Materials Engineering(2022)
摘要
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great potential in cancer treatment but is limited by shallow tissue penetration of light. Recently, novel PDT technologies, including X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) and Cherenkov irradiation-induced photodynamic therapy (CR-PDT), have been developed to address the penetration issue. Nanoparticles play essential roles in X-PDT and CR-PDT, functioning as either scintillators or photosensitizers that enable efficient energy transfer and PDT activation. Other functional molecules such as tumor-specific ligands can be coupled to the nanoparticles to render the nanoparticles with tumor-targeting ability.
