Mitochondrial dysregulation plays a significant role in the carcinogenesis. On the other
hand, its destabilization strongly represses the viability and metastatic potential of cancer …

Nano pharmacology is considered an effective, safe, and applicable approach for drug
delivery applications. Solid lipid nanoparticle (SLNs) colloids contain biocompatible lipids …

In this work, a new series of pentamethine indolenine cyanine dyes has been designed and
synthesized with the aim to investigate a structure-activity relationship on their photodynamic …

Four benzoindolenine-based squaraine dyes (SQs), which have the advantages of intense
visible and near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission (λabs/max 663–695 nm, λem/max …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) shows promise as a complementary or

In this study, we present for the first time the incorporation of two distinct nonsymmetrical
squaraines (SQ) into hierarchically porous Hafnium-based UiO-66 Metal–Organic …

Nanoemulsions (NE) are lipid nanocarriers that can efficiently load hydrophobic active
compounds, like palmitoyl-L-carnitine (pC), used here as model molecule. The use of design …

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have shown great capabilities for drug delivery and are
therefore attractive theranostic candidates when labelled with an imaging contrast agent …

Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic strategy that combines external light
with a photosensitizer (PS) to destroy abnormal cells. Despite the great progress in the …

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second deadliest cancer among men worldwide. Particularly
critical is its development towards metastatic androgen-independent forms for which the …
