Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment mainly for cancer but also for bacterial
infections. This treatment dates back to 1900 when a German medical school graduate …

Photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms has gained substantial attention due to its
unique mode of action, in which pathogens are unable to generate resistance, and due to …

Nowadays we are approaching the “post-antibiotic era,” and the multi-drug resistant bacteria
become a serious problem. Thus, the new strategies of infection treatment are extensively …

Background: The group of fluorophores on boron dipyrrin platform (4, 4-difluoro-4-bora3a,
4a-diaza-s-indacene, also known as BODIPY) has attracted much attention in the field of …

The endoplasmic reticulum's (ER) dynamic nature, essential for maintaining cellular
homeostasis, can be influenced by stress-induced damage, which can be assessed by …

Thiols play vital and irreplaceable roles in the biological system. Abnormality of thiol levels
has been linked with various diseases and biological disorders. Thiols are known to …

Rapid excited-state quenching in the solid state is a widespread limitation for organic
chromophores. Even when molecules are dispersed in neutral host matrices …

We report on a photocatalytic setup that utilizes the organic photosensitizer (PS) diiodo-
BODIPY and the non-precious-metal-based hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst …

Boron‐dipyrromethene derivatives, including cationic and iodinated analogs, were obtained
and subjected to physicochemical and in vitro photodynamic activity studies. Iodinated …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically-approved cancer treatment that is based on
production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species to induce cell death. However, its efficiency …
