The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound
energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and …

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The
development of breast cancer is a multi-step process involving multiple cell types, and its …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) show a self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential that
contribute to tumor progression and therapy resistance. However, the underlying processes …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive research attention as a noninvasive and
selective treatment strategy for numerous cancers. PTT functions via photothermal effects …

It is of great significance to develop anticancer therapeutic agents or technologies with high
degree of specificity and patient compliance, while low toxicity. The emerging photothermal …

Technological advances and clinical research over the past few decades have given
radiation oncologists the capability to personalize treatments for accurate delivery of …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are self‐renewable cell types that are identified in most types of
liquid and solid cancers and contributed to tumor onset, expansion, resistance, recurrence …

The present article highlights the rationale, potential and flexibility of tumor spheroid mono-
and cocultures for implementation into state of the art anti-cancer therapy test platforms …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a population of self-renewal cells with high tumorigenic
potency. CSCs can adopt easily with changes in the nearby milieu, and are more resistant to …

Tumour heterogeneity remains a major challenge in cancer therapy owing to the different
susceptibility of cells to chemotherapy within a solid tumour. Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) …
