In vivo tumor diagnosis and photodynamic therapy via tumoral pH-responsive polymeric micelles

Abstract

We report protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) encapsulated pH-responsive micelles for cancer treatment. This system showed pH-responsive micellization/demicellization transition at tumoral acidic pH and enabled in vivo tumor diagnosis and therapy simultaneously.
