A cancer cell specific targeting nanocomplex for combination of mRNA-responsive photodynamic and chemo-therapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Sep 5;53(72):9979-9982. doi: 10.1039/c7cc05295b.

Abstract

We have developed a cancer cell specific targeting nanocomplex which combines photodynamic therapy with chemotherapy through precisely responding to the intracellular tumor-related mRNA. The combined treatment of these two modalities showed significantly enhanced therapeutic effects on cancer cells.
