Further, these designed photothermal hybrid structures are engineered with Doxorubicin anticancer drug molecules (DOX@CuS NC) for bio-responsive chemo-photo therapy of breast cancer (>70 % cell death at a concentration of 20 µg mL⁻¹).trueChemotherapy | CuS nanoparticles | Doxorubicin | Photothermal therapy | Self-assembled clustersArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2022.1330171873497915 November 202210133017arJournal9
