Abstract
- Researchers at Ajman University in the United Arab Emirates have conducted a study on enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for breast cancer treatment. The study focuses on the use of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) to encapsulate a photosensitizer called Temoporfin, which aims to improve its delivery and reduce toxicity. The researchers found that encapsulated Temoporfin demonstrated greater effectiveness in eliminating cancer cells compared to its naked form. This research highlights the potential of SiNPs as an efficient drug delivery system in PDT and sets the groundwork for more advanced strategies in cancer treatment. [Extracted from the article]
