Abstract
synergistic shielding and rigidifying effects. On the other hand, visible light excitation of the chromophores significantly increases the catalytic activity and cytotoxicity against cancer cells, ascribed to the promotion of the charge transfer process. This nanoplatform exhibits excellent biocompatibility, bright red fluorescence, and light-regulated cytotoxicity for anti-cancer treatment, promising its applications in smart nanocatalytic medicines and efficient chemodynamic therapy.
