X-ray-induced radiophotodynamic therapy (RPDT) using lanthanide micelles: Beyond depth limitations

We report lanthanide-based micelles integrating hypericin (Hyp) for X-ray-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT). The lanthanide luminescence induced by X-ray irradiation excites the photosensitizer, which leads to the generation of singlet oxygen. This versatile approach can be extended to other phot...
