Nowadays multi-drug resistant microorganisms is a serious public health problem
worldwide. To overcome it, new antimicrobial strategies have been developed. Among them …

Innovative anticancer therapies based on the activation of the immune system offer promise
in the battle against cancers resistant to traditional treatments. Examples of such therapeutic …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires a medical device, a photosensitizing drug and
adequate use of both to trigger biological mechanisms that can rapidly destroy the primary …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach for treatment of cancer and bacterial
infection. Upon excitation by light, photosensitizers (PSs) produce reactive oxygen species …

Chlorophylls make Earth green, are the central constituents in the engine of photosynthesis,
and not surprisingly have garnered immense attention. A chlorin, the core chromophore of a …

Applications of metalloporphyrins and related molecules have been extensively pursued in
the context of photodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) and other biomedical applications. This …

Herein we report the design of a bacteriochlorin-based nanoscale metal–organic framework,
Zr-TBB, for highly effective photodynamic therapy via both type I and type II mechanisms …

The selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT) derived from the tailored accumulation of
photosensitizing drug (photosensitizer; PS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and from …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in cell signaling systems and homeostasis,
and they are also fundamental to photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT efficacy can be affected …

Bacterichlorins possess a characteristic intense electronic absorption in the near-infrared
part of the electromagnetic radiation (NIR) from 700 nm up to 900 nm, where endogenous …
