Breaking photoswitch activation depth limit using ionising radiation stimuli adapted to clinical application

Triggered therapeutics are of interest but currently suffer from limited penetration depth of light sources. Here, the authors report on the development of a system, called radioswitch, that uses ionising irradiation to switch an azobenzene modified drug to an active form for deep tissue triggered t...
