Potential of Black Phosphorus in Immune-Based Therapeutic Strategies by Wenjuan Dong, Hu Wang, Hailin Liu, Chunqiao Zhou, Xuelin Zhang, Song Wang, Lin He

“…For example, BP under irradiation can convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage cancer cells, called photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Compared with PTT and PDT, the novel techniques of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and photoacoustic therapy (PAT) exhibit amplified ROS generation and precise photoacoustic-shockwaves to enhance anticancer effect when BP receives ultrasound or NIR irradiation. …”
