This study presents a novel class of cyanine‐based photosensitizers (PS) to achieve controllable switching between Type‐I and Type‐II mechanisms during photodynamic therapy. The formation of radical ion pairs (PS•+−PS•−) via symmetry‐breaking charge separation in aggregated systems at the triplet state, triggering Type‐I cascade reactions for effective

An asymmetric heptamethine cyanine photosensitizer, Cyp‐TPE, is designed to break molecular symmetry and form ordered nanoaggregates, resulting in ultrahigh ROS generation and synergistic photothermal/photodynamic activity. It further triggers ferroptosis and lysosomal dysfunction, providing a potent aggregate‐based theranostic platform for imaging ...
