Abstract:
Polydopamine nanoparticles were used to stabilize a nano-Pt catalyst to relieve tumour hypoxia in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Polydopamine not only provides a platform for carrying nano-Pt and photosensitizers but is also used as a photothermal reagent for photothermal therapy (PTT). The system presented an enhanced anti-tumor therapy effect through a combined PDT and PTT mechanism.
