Phototherapies involve the irradiation of target tissues with light. To further enhance
selectivity and potency, numerous molecularly targeted photosensitizers and photoactive …

Textiles are an emerging class of support material for catalysts, and are available in many
different structures at a modest cost from a well-established industry. This review discusses …

Tetracarboxylic porphyrins and polyethylene glycol (PEG) diamines were crosslinked in
conditions that gave rise to a water-soluble porphyrin polyamide. Using PEG linkers 2 kDa …

Attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) can prolong blood circulation of biological
molecules, a useful trait for a vascular imaging agent. Here, we present a route for modifying …

This work describes the preparation of keratin and chlorin e6-conjugated keratin
nanoparticles, KNPs and KNPs@ Ce6 respectively, by comparing self-assembling and …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an upcoming minimally invasive local treatment approach
for several cancers and skin conditions. It has a promising clinical outlook, has better patient …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and gene delivery have both been used to target both cancer
cells and tumor‐associated macrophages (TAM s). Given the complex nature of tumor …

Translation potential of RNA interference nanotherapeutics remains challenging due to in
vivo off-target effects and poor endosomal escape. Here, we developed novel polyplexes for …
