Photodynamic metabolite-powered zero-waste “ferroptosis amplifier” for enhanced hypertrophic scar therapy

Tao Chen,
Yuan Chen,
Shan Wang
et al.

Abstract: Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a somatopsychic disease that significantly affects quality of life. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows promise for HS treatment, while challenges like poor transdermal delivery and the accumulation of photodynamic by-products restrict its effectiveness. Inspired by the natural phenomenon that a whale fall brings life to thousands, this study proposes a zero-waste strategy by leveraging the photodynamic metabolite heme to establish a “ferroptosis am… Show more
