Licensed to kill : A method for obtaining ultrafine hydrophilic polyacrylamide‐based nanoparticles that encapsulate meta ‐tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin ( m THPC) has been developed. Rat C6 glioma cells exposed to infrared light were killed (red) in the presence of the m THPC‐encapsulating nanoparticles while the cells without exposure to light were still alive (green).
