Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable)
protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

As an emerging clinical modality for cancer treatment, photodynamic therapy (PDT) takes
advantage of the cytotoxic activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated by …

Self-assembling molecular drugs combine the easy preparation typical of small-molecule
chemotherapy and the tumour-targeting properties of drug–nanoparticle conjugates …

The complexity, diversity, and heterogeneity of tumors seriously undermine the therapeutic
