Rational Design of Near-Infrared Difluoroboron Cyanine Photosensitizers for Lipid Droplet-Targeting Imaging and Tumor Therapy.
Specifically disrupting lipid droplets (LDs) is an effective strategy for ablating tumor cells through photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, most reported LD probes possess short excitation/emission wavelengths, limiting tissue penetration, and LD-targeted theranostic probes remain underdeveloped. In this work, we first...
