Both MD NP (+) and MD1a NP (+) treatments significantly enhanced the secretion of ATP (Fig. 4C) and HMGB1 (Fig. 4D) compared to the MB (+) and DOX groups, indicating that the synergistic photochemotherapy mediated by MD1a NP was more effective at inducing ICD than monotherapy. Here, HMGB1 is linked to impulse control disorder.
