Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic
techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial …

Over the years, microorganisms have developed several resistance mechanisms against
standard treatments, thus limiting the effect of drugs and rendering ineffective therapies …

With the development of photodynamic therapy (PDT), remarkable studies have been
conducted to generate photosensitisers (PSs), especially porphyrin PSs. A variety of …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medicinal tool that uses a photosensitizer and a light
source to treat several conditions, including cancer. PDT uses reactive oxygen species such …

Nanomaterials combined with phototherapy and multimodal imaging are promising for
cancer theranostics. Our aim is to develop fluorescent mesoporous bioglass nanoparticles …

A novel electrochemical sensor was constructed based on a zinc porphyrin dye (YD2-o-C8,
designated as YD) functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hybrid. YD has …

Inspired by the hierarchical chiral assembly of porphyrin–proteins in photosynthetic systems,
the hierarchical self-assembly of porphyrin–amino acids/peptides provides a novel strategy …

We present here the coupling of cationic meso-tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin
(TMPyP) and their zinc complex (ZnTMPyP) with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are potential cancer treatment
methods that are minimally invasive with high specificity for malignant cells. Emerging …

Porphyrins, a class of four-pyrrole nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, have been used in
photodynamic cancer therapy. In this study, three distinct pyridine cationic porphyrin …
