Developments in PDT Sensitizers for Increased Selectivity and Singlet Oxygen Production

Developments in PDT Sensitizers for Increased Selectivity and Singlet Oxygen Production

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally-invasive procedure that has been clinically approved for treating certain types of cancers. This procedure takes advantage of the cytotoxic activity of singlet oxygen (1O2) and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by visible and NIR light irradiation...
