Single-fiber probe enables closed-loop tumor photothermal therapy
What the study found A single-fiber, multifunctional fiber-optic theranostic probe was developed for closed-loop tumor photothermal therapy. It combines tumor edge identification, treatment, and real-time feedback in one tapered optical fiber. Why the authors say this matters The authors say this approach addresses limited light penetration depth and the systemic toxicity of nanomaterials. They also…
