Discrete Pt (II) metallacycles have attracted particular attention for the chemotherapeutic
treatment of cancer. However, a single chemotherapy cannot simultaneously balance …

To promote the clinical theranostic performances of platinum‐based anticancer drugs,
imaging capability is urgently desired, and their chemotherapeutic efficacy needs to be …

The development of metallacycles with high stability and intense near-infrared (NIR)
absorption is important for biomedical applications. However, very few molecular design …

Phototherapy is considered a promising alternative to conventional tumor treatments due to
its noninvasive modality and effective therapeutic effect. However, designing a …

Mitochondria are recognized as the ideal target for cancer treatment because they play a
central role in oxidative metabolism and apoptosis. In this work, a mitochondria‐targeted …

Asymmetrical heptamethine cyanine with near‐infrared (NIR) absorption is used for
photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer. Aiming to overcome the drawbacks caused by the …

Single‐molecule photosensitizers (PSs) for synergistic phototherapy are desirable but highly
challenging, due to the competitive relationship between photothermal (PTT) and …

It is challenging to develop a near‐infrared (NIR) small molecular photosensitizer for
synergistic phototherapy in deep tissues. Herein, first, a heavy‐atom‐free NIR hemicyanine …

In recent years, cancer phototherapy has been extensively studied as noninvasive cancer
treatment. To present efficient recognition toward cancer cells, most photosensitizers (PSs) …

The development of anticancer therapy is significant to human health but remains a huge
challenge. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), inducing the synergistic mitochondrial dysfunction …
