Light has been widely used for cancer therapeutics such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy. This paper describes a strategy called enzyme-enhanced phototherapy (EEPT) treatment. We constructed nanoparticle platform by covalent conjugation of glucose oxidase (GOx) to small polymer dots, which could be persistently immobilized into tumor. While the malignant tumors have high uptake, GOx efficiently catalyzes oxidation with simultaneous generation H2O2. Under light...

The photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy are mainly based on porphyrin derivatives. However, clinical applications encounter several limitations regarding such as their low absorption coefficients, poor water-solubility, and leaching from delivery carriers. Here, we describe covalent incorporation of conjugated polymer backbone for development efficient polymer-dot photosensitizer. Spectroscopic characterizations revealed that the light-harvesting dominantly transfer excitation...
