The development of new photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents designed for bladder cancer
(BC) treatments is of utmost importance to prevent its recurrence and progression towards …

Porphyrins are promising materials for photodynamic therapy, but their low solubility and
aggregation in biological environments are still obstacles to surpass. In order to overcome …

Red and near-infrared emission is a highly desirable feature for fluorescent nanoparticles in
biological applications mainly due to longer wavelengths more easily being able to deeply …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using porphyrins has been approved for treatment of several
solid tumors due to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, low …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a potential non-invasive approach for application in
oncological diseases, based on the activation of a photosensitizer (PS) by light at a specific …

Here, we report the safety, tumor accumulation and potential of polyethylene glycol-grafted
graphene oxide (pGO) as a multimodal nanocarrier of photosensitizers and synergistic …

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has been successfully used to treat different tumour types
since its approval. However, the search for more powerful and selective photosensitisers …

The long wavelength absorbing photosensitizer (PS) is important in allowing deeper
penetration of near-infrared light into tumor tissue for photodynamic therapy (PDT). A …

The overall prognosis of bladder cancer has not been improved over the last 30 years and
therefore, there is a great medical need to develop novel diagnosis and therapy approaches …

The application of porphyrins and their derivatives have been investigated extensively over
the past years for phototherapy cancer treatment. Phototherapeutic Porphyrins have the …
