A covalent organic framework with a self-contained light source for photodynamic therapy†
Abstract
External light-independent antitumor PDT is successfully realized with a covalent organic framework (COF)-based host–guest nanosystem. Its highly effective antitumor behavior is fully demonstrated by both H2O2-overexpressed 4T1 and H2O2-less expressed HCT116 and MCF-7 xenograft models.
