Structurally diverse polydopamine-based nanomedicines for cancer therapy

Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) has attracted substantial interest in materials synthesis, energy storage, environmental governance, and biomedical science since it was first reported 2007. PDA, owing to its excellent biocompatibility photothermal conversion efficiency ( ? ), been used therapy alone combination with photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, radiation immunotherapy, gas for cancer treatment. This review summarizes the methods synthesizing structurally diverse PDA-based nanomedicines their applications provide perspectives guide future studies
