The ability to gain spatiotemporal information, and in some cases achieve spatiotemporal
control, in the context of drug delivery makes theranostic fluorescent probes an attractive …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a long known, FDA approved, and highly promising
therapeutic modality, which is still developing. Photosensitizers (PSs) are at the core of PDT …

In this report, we present a novel prodrug strategy that can significantly improve the
efficiency and selectivity of combined therapy for bladder cancer. Our approach involved the …

In this report, we developed novel chlorin/arylaminoquinazoline conjugates for targeted
photodynamic therapy of cancer. The synthesized photosensitizers consisted of chlorin-e 6 …

Fluorophores are essential tools for optical imaging and biomedical research. Their
synthetic modification to incorporate new functions, however, remains a challenging task …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approved treatment for cancer and other diseases. Photosensitizer is one of the three key …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved cancer treatment modality. Despite its high
efficiency, PDT is limited in terms of specificity and by the poor solubility of the rather …

Chemical probes mark cellular compartments which have distinct interior environments and
membrane compositions. For examples of the former, rhodamine ester and cyanine …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a rapidly growing discipline that is expected to become an
encouraging noninvasive therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. In the PDT process, an …
