Light-responsive nanoparticles. Emerging delivery systems can be designed to degrade and release their therapeutic cargo upon light activation using UV, visible, or near-infrared light. The goal of this technology is to precisely control the time and location of particle degradation within a person's body and thereby minimize side effects.
