The success of platinum-based anticancer agents has motivated the exploration of novel
metal-based drugs for several decades, whereas problems such as drug-resistance and …

Two-photon excitation has attracted the attention of biologists, especially after the
development of two-photon excited microscopy in the nineties. Since then, new applications …

The synergistic action of light, oxygen and a photosensitizer (PS) has found applications for
decades in medicine under the name of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of …

Corroles are exceptionally promising platforms for the development of agents for
simultaneous cancer-targeting imaging and therapy. Depending on the element chelated by …

A survey of the most recent progress in the biomedical applications of metal-containing
polymers is given. Due to the unique optical, electrochemical, and magnetic properties, at …

Despite their past triumphs, platinum-based therapeutics remain limited by chemo-
resistance and severe side effects. As an alternative therapeutic modality which bypasses …

Light, oxygen and photosensitizers (PSs) are the three separate elements that have been
applied in combination in the phototherapy of cancers in the past decades. Currently …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality where light-mediated activation of
photosensitizers in a patient's body leads to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen …

Despite the extensive use of porphyrins in photodynamic therapy (PDT), tetraplatinated
porphyrins have so far not been studied for their anticancer properties. Herein, we report the …

Fifteen water-soluble rhenium compounds of the general formula [Re (CO) 3 (NN)(PR3)]+,
