NIR-Mediated drug release and tumor theranostics using melanin-loaded liposomes

NIR-Mediated drug release and tumor theranostics using melanin-loaded liposomes

Abstract Background Heat generation in a drug delivery carrier by exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light with excellent tissue transmittance is an effective strategy for drug release and tumor therapy. Because liposomes have amphiphilic properties, they are useful as drug carriers. Liposomes are also...
