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 …

Microorganisms thrive in well-organized biofilm ecosystems. Biofilm-associated cells
typically show increased resistance to antibiotics and contribute significantly to treatment …

Precise control over the stimuli-responsive noncovalent interactions operative in a complex
molecular system has emerged as a convenient way to realize applications in the detection …

Sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) is a polyanionic cyclic oligosaccharide that
contains glucopyranose units forming a torus ring-like structure. SBE-β-CD is gifted with …

The reduction of available drugs with effectiveness against microbes is worsening with the
current global crisis of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for innovative strategies for …

Drug-resistant pathogens render tremendous pressure and challenges on the development
of biomedical materials with highly efficient barrier and long-lasting antibacterial efficacy …

Photodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) is a therapeutic technique, minimally invasive, which
is currently used to treat cancerous lesions and tumors that have been in the spotlight for its …

Porphyrinic compounds are widespread in nature and play key roles in biological processes
such as oxygen transport in blood, enzymatic redox reactions or photosynthesis. In addition …

In this review, we will show the diversity of supramolecular host-guest complexes of
cyclodextrins, cucurbit [n] urils, calix [n]-and pillar [n] arenes with photosensitizers, like …

Within of the increasing requirement of alternative approaches to fight emerging infections,
nano-photosensitisers (nanoPS) are currently designed with the aim to optimize the …
