Abstract
studies, EGaPs caused tumor regression and resulted in 2.3-fold higher necrosis than the control, therefore making a good vehicle for photodynamic therapy. The overall results highlight that EGaPs provide a new way to assemble liquid metal nanomaterials with different ligands for enhanced cancer therapy.
