Polydopamine-tailored paclitaxel-loaded polymeric microspheres with adhered NIR-controllable gold nanoparticles for chemo-phototherapy of pancreatic cancer
Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drugs often used as a first-line treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC) exhibit challenges due to resistance development, lack of selectivity, and tumor heterogeneity. Currently, combination chemo-photothermal therapy is known to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs in PC. In this study, we develop adherent gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded PLGA microspheres for the treatment of PC....
