Characterization of nanoparticles combining polyamine detection with photodynamic therapy

Li et al develop PPAB-PyS nanoparticles that simultaneously allows intracellular imaging and ratiometric detection of the intracellular polyamine. With an additional potential to consume polyamines via an irreversible chemical reaction, the authors thus provide an alternative approach for photodynam...
