Dual-response oxygen-generating MnO2 nanoparticles with polydopamine modification for combined photothermal-photodynamic therapy

Photonic therapy (e.g., photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT)), features easy handling, good targeting, high curative effect and lower side effects compared to other treatments, thus showing considerable potential in cancer treatment. However, adverse tumor microenvironment, low light conversion efficiency, and inherent toxicity of photonic agents limit their further application in clinic. In this work, hollow mesoporous MnO2...
