Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the excited state of ground, triplet state, molecular oxygen (O2).
Photosensitized 1O2 has been extensively studied as one of the reactive oxygen species …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT)-mediated oxidation treatment is extremely attractive for skin
melanoma ablation, but the strong hydrophobicity and poor tumor selectivity of …

A bio-responsive nanoparticle was formed by the directed self-assembly (DSA) of a
hydrophobic NIR-fluorophore with poloxamer P188. Fluorophore emission was switched off …

In this work, various novel pyridinyl-and pyridinium-modified Aza-BODIPY PSs were
designed and constructed based on monoiodo Aza-BODIPY PSs (BDP-4 and BDP-15) in an …

In photodynamic therapy (PDT), reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated through
dynamic interactions between light of a specific wavelength, a photosensitizer (PS) and …

To improve the potency of Heptamethine cyanines (Hcyanines) in cancer research, we
designed and synthesized two novel Hcyanines based theranostic probes, IR794-Morph …

Polymeric nanoparticles represent an emerging technology in the field of theranostic
nanomedicine that combines diagnostic and therapeutic applications in a single agent. In …

Aza-boron-dipyrromethenes (Aza-BODIPYs) represent an important class of chromophores
absorbing and emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region. They have unique optical and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on the combined action of a photosensitizer (PS), light at
an appropriate wavelength, and oxygen, to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that …

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer with limited treatment options
available. Successful treatment involves a combination of surgical resection of the tumor; …
