Scientists discover nanoclusters effective for cancer in the second near-infrared synergy therapy

(Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences) As a minimally invasive method for cancer therapy at precise locations, NIR-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn extensively attention. The therapeutic mechanism is the use of photothermal agents (PTAs) in the treatment of tumors,and its therapeutic effect happens only at the tumor site where both light-absorbent and localized laser radiation coexist.
