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 …

Conspectus Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved therapeutic modality that
has shown great potential for the treatment of cancers owing to its excellent spatiotemporal …

Light-based phototherapy has been developed for cancer treatment owing to its non-
invasiveness and spatiotemporal control. Despite the unique merits of phototherapy, one …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species
(ROS), has been shown to be responsible for immunogenic cell death (ICD). Seeking ROS …

Sulfoxide-bridged dimeric BODIPYs were developed as a new class of long-wavelength
photoconvertible fluorophores. Upon visible-light irradiation, a sulfoxide moiety was …

Triplet photosensitizers (PSs) have attracted much attention in recent years, due to the
significance of these kinds of compounds in fundamental photochemistry studies and …

In this study, the chromophore 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) is anchored
with phenyl substituents at the imide N site, followed by thionation, yielding a series of thione …

Precision diagnosis and treatment have received increasing attention for modern medicine,
and the optical imaging and therapeutic techniques (eg, fluorescence imaging …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising candidate for cancer theranostics;
however, traditional photosensitizers (PSs) usually exhibit weak fluorescence and poor …

This minireview focuses on recent progress in developing heavy-atom-free photosensitizers
based on the thionation of nucleic acid derivatives and other biocompatible organic …
