Abstract

Light-triggered drug release from hydrogels is a promising method to improve efficiency of antitumor treatment, as an alternative to existing photodynamic therapies. Here we report a photochromic supramolecular low-MW hydrogel that can quickly and selectively release a physically encapsulated potent anticancer agent upon green light irradiation under physiological conditions.
