In vitro and in vivo near-infrared photothermal therapy of cancer using polypyrrole organic nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The majority of currently used PTT agents are inorganic nanomaterials, which usually are not biodegradable and may remain inside the body for long periods of time after systemic administration, but the use of organic nanoparticles, such as porphysome and light-absorbing conductive polymers, as PTT agent has thus attracted attention recently.
