Methodologies Toward Optimization of Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:Eu@SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles as Photosensitizers for X-Ray Activated Photodynamic Therapy (XPDT) of Cancer
2024-07-23
Abstract excerpt
Traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) is often limited in its efficacy by insufficient light penetration, inefficient photosensitizer energy transfer, and inadequate target tissue oxygenation. X-ray activated PDT (XPDT), using nanoparticle (NPs) photosensitizers comprised of europium-doped yttrium oxide cores encased within silica shells (Y2O3:Eu@SiO2), offers the potential of overcoming most of these limitations...
