This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

Bioactive materials are a special class of biomaterials that can react in vivo to induce a
biological response or regulate biological functions, thus achieving a better curative effect …

The highly oxygen-dependent nature of photodynamic therapy (PDT) limits its therapeutic
efficacy against hypoxic solid tumors in clinics, which is an urgent problem to be solved …

Cancer is one of the greatest challenges in medical science today as it poses a serious
threat to human life. In view of this, myriad of therapeutic strategies are being developed for …
