Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots coupled with photosensitizers for one-/two-photon activated photodynamic therapy based on a FRET mechanism

Abstract

A novel material with a large two-photon absorption cross-section was conjugated with a typical photosensitizer for inducing a FRET process. The photosensitizer can be excited by a one-/two-photon laser and then induced photo-toxicity in vitro and in vivo. The system presents great potential for improving treatment depth and the precision of traditional photodynamic therapy.
