DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c18937
Abstract: Inherent self-defense pathways within malignant tumors include the action of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and often impede photothermal therapy efficacy. Interestingly, HSP40 inhibits glycolysis and disrupts mitochondrial function to overcome tumor self-defense mechanisms and exhibits… read more here.
