研究目的
To develop a freezing-induced turn-on strategy for selective real-time imaging of frozen cancer cells during cryosurgery to improve therapeutic efficacy by enabling accurate determination of frozen tissue volume and differentiation from normal cells.
研究成果
The synthesis of TABD-Py enables a unique freezing-induced turn-on imaging modality for cryosurgery, with high specificity to cancer cells, biocompatibility, and real-time monitoring capability. This approach enhances therapeutic efficacy by allowing precise imaging of frozen tissues, reducing damage to normal cells, and holds promise for clinical applications in cancer treatment.
研究不足
The study is limited to in vitro experiments with specific cell lines; in vivo applications and clinical translation require further investigation. The mechanism of ice interaction and specificity to cancer cells may need more detailed molecular studies. Potential optimizations include improving dye stability and expanding to other cancer types.
