Figure 6. Schematic comparison of PTT and PDT mechanisms enabled by TMD nanoplatforms. PTT relies on NIR-induced heat generation, whereas PDT induces ROS-mediated oxidative damage through photo-excited PSs. PTT: Photothermal therapy; PDT: photodynamic therapy; TMD: transition metal dichalcogenide; PS: photosensitizer; ROS: reactive oxygen species; 1O2: singlet oxygen.
