This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has aroused great research interest in recent years owing to its
high spatiotemporal selectivity, minimal invasiveness, and low systemic toxicity. However …

Cancer has emerged over the last decades as one of the deadliest diseases in the world.
Among the most commonly used techniques (ie surgery, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or …

Light-based phototherapy has been developed for cancer treatment owing to its non-
invasiveness and spatiotemporal control. Despite the unique merits of phototherapy, one …

Despite its clinical promise, photodynamic therapy (PDT) suffers from a key drawback
associated with its oxygen‐dependent nature, which limits its effective use against hypoxic …

Brain cancer, especially the most common type of glioblastoma, is highly invasive and
known as one of the most devastating and deadly neoplasms. Despite surgical and medical …

Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising mean to improve theranostic efficacy and
reduce side effects. Currently, only very small percentage of injected dose reaches the solid …

Hypoxia, a quite universal feature in most solid tumors, has been considered as the
“Achilles' heel” of traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) and substantially impairs the …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of
cancers by integrating photosensitizers, which cause cytotoxic effects on cancer cells by …

The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mechanism is the major cause underlying the
efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The PDT procedure is based on the cascade of …
