Abstract

In article number 1904619, Maurizio Prato, Önder Metin, Açelya Yilmazer, and co-workers show that light exposure of g-C3N4 results in the formation of reactive oxygen species, causing death of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, as evident by classical methods as well as omics approaches. They suggest that photo-excitation of g-C3N4 could be used effectively in a photodynamic therapy protocol for cancer therapy without using any other nanocarrier, additional photosensitizer or a chemotherapeutic drug.
