Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced apoptosis is a promising treatment strategy for
malignant neoplasms. However, current systems are highly dependent on oxygen status …

Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules
and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus‐responsive materials …

Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches, known for their reversible photoinduced cyclization and
cycloreversion reactions, have shown great promise in various fields such as optical data …

Light is a nearly ideal stimulus for molecular systems. It delivers information encoded in the
form of wavelengths and their intensities with high precision in space and time. Light is a …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows great potential for tumor treatment owing to its high
spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness and patient compliance. However, the …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered a promising approach for the treatment of cancer
and is achieved via the photosensitizer (PS)-mediated incomplete reduction of oxygen upon …

Photochromism is a term that describes the photoreversible isomerization between two
different states or isomers with distinct performances. Among all the photochromic molecule …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn great interest in recent years mainly due to its low
side effects and few drug resistances. Nevertheless, one of the issues of PDT is the need for …
