Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanism of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with metal nanoparticles. During photodynamic therapy, nanoparticles increase oxygen production; This increase in cell oxygen production is associated with damage to nucleic acid, and the cascade created by the nanoparticles leads tumor cells to planned death ( ; ).
