Abstract

A cancer cell-specific, endogenous H<sup>+</sup>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-activated, and O<sub>2</sub> self-sufficient nanocomposite is engineered and characterized. Such NPs, with good biocompatibility and rapid response to intracellular H<sup>+</sup>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, have demonstrated improved therapeutic effects in targeted cancer cells and activated MR signals in vitro, providing a promising strategy for effective PDT against tumor hypoxia.
