Glucose oxidase and polydopamine functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles: combination of the photothermal effect and reactive oxygen species generation for dual-modality selective cancer therapy

@PDA/GOx NPs on cancer cells is demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. In particular, a single injection rather than multiple doses results in significant suppression of tumors, and does not induce apparent histological lesions in the 4T1 tumor-bearing Balb/c mice. The versatility of the functionalization strategy reported in this study will contribute to developing efficient therapies for selective cancer treatment.
