Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>W₁₈O₄₉ nanowires</bold> </italic> can sensitize the formation of singlet oxygen upon irradiation with near‐infrared (NIR) light. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 12332 ff.</ext-link>, K. C. Hwang and co‐workers describe the complete destruction of solid tumors in mice by W₁₈O₄₉‐nanowire‐mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). This effect was not achieved when employing photothermal therapy or the anticancer drug doxorubicin.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t78skh4" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
