Enhanced Stability of Indocyanine Green by Encapsulation in Zein-Phosphatidylcholine Hybrid Nanoparticles for Use in the Phototherapy of Cancer

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a clinically approved near-infrared dye that has shown promise as a photosensitizer for the phototherapy of cancer. However, its chemical instability in an aqueous solution has limited its clinical application. Encapsulating ICG in liposomes, phosphatidylcholine nanopartic...
