Porphyrin Photosensitizers into Polysaccharide-Based Biopolymer Hydrogels for Topical Photodynamic Therapy: Physicochemical and Pharmacotechnical Assessments

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment modality that utilizes light-sensitive compounds, known as photosensitizers, to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can selectively destroy malignant or diseased tissues upon light activation. This study investigates the incorporation of two...
