TLDR Bioelectronic nanogenerators show promise for cancer treatment but need better understanding and development.
The document reviews recent advancements in bioelectronic and atomic nanogenerators for anticancer therapy, emphasizing their potential to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. These technologies, including photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and electrical stimulation, offer targeted and localized treatment options. Atomic nanogenerators use radioactive isotopes to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. Challenges such as energy transduction and device biocompatibility need further research to optimize these technologies. The integration of nanogenerators into drug delivery systems represents a significant advancement, enabling precise and controlled release of therapeutic agents directly at tumor sites, thus improving targeting and reducing off-target effects. Despite challenges like production and safety, these therapies hold promise for improving cancer treatment outcomes.
