Popis: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment strategy that uses photosensitizers and light in combination with oxygen to generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill cancer cells by necrosis or apoptosis. However, the treatment effects are still not satisfactory because of the tumor hypoxia and the PDT-induced oxygen consumption. Here, we have successfully synthesized dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs) with large center-radial pore structure that can be used to simultaneously encapsulate indocyanine green (ICG
