Abstract
In article number 1700038, Michael Hsiao, Ru-Shi Liu, and co-workers, report an 808 nm near-infrared-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) strategy using upconversion nanoparticle-poly-l-lysine@graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (UCNP-PLL@CNs) nanocomposites. The 808 nm UCNP-PLL@CNs are expected to make PDT more humane, controllable, and low-cost, which will inevitably lead to considerable improvements in clinical care.
