DESCRIPTION

Biomolecules-based materials hold great promise for malignant tumor phototherapy. However, current supramolecular biomaterials primarily suffer from poor tissue penetration, inadequate tumor accumulation, and particularly neglecting the unique benefits of chirality, thus significantly limiting their phototherapeutic efficacy.
