Abstract

Our findings reveal that AIE-driven PDT can orchestrate multimodal cell death in tumor through oxidative stress modulation. By concurrently activating PANoptosis and ferroptosis, this approach establishes a novel paradigm for overcoming limitations of conventional single-pathway targeted PDT.
