Abstract
Using cell-surface modification and biotin-streptavidin interactions, immune cells and target tumor cells are made to form multicellular assemblies. A polythiophene derivative can undergo cellular uptake, allowing the sensitization of oxygen under light irradiation. The subsequent generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulates cell-cell communication in time and space.
