Abstract

In article number 1905326 by Qianli Zou, Wei Qi, Xuehai Yan, and co-workers, photothermal protein-based nanodrugs are constructed through the coordination self-assembly of bovine serum albumin, photosensitizer, and metal ions. The resulting nanodrugs show robust structural stability and superior supramolecular photothermal effects, which thus lead to improved tumor therapeutic efficiency. Such protein-based photothermal nanodrugs provide an alternative in developing new modalities of tumor therapy.
