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)—which combines light, oxygen and photosensitizers (PS) to
generate reactive oxygen species—has emerged as an effective approach for targeted …

Photodynamic therapy is an anti‐cancer treatment that requires illumination of
photosensitizers to induce local cell death. Current near‐infrared organic photosensitizers …

Tumor microenvironment is a rather unusual circumstances formed during the growth of
tumor cells, showing significant differences from normal cells and tissues. Indeed, many …

The rational design of activatable photosensitizers (aPSs) uncaged by specific disease
biomarkers is currently booming due to their positive attributes to achieve targeted …

An activatable photosensitizer that could induce phototoxicity only in target sites is highly
demanded to overcome the potential off-target toxicity in photodynamic therapy. It is of great …

In this work, two BODIPY–bipyridine Cu2+ ion complexes for targeted nitric oxide (NO)
activatable photodynamic therapy are reported. The design is based on the relatively high …

In the research, the modulation of gene expression with a novel G-quadruplex stabiliser was
analysed. Activation by the removal of bulky hypoxia-responsive substituent enhances G …

Dopamine is a predominant monoamine neurotransmitter that has a critical role in various
physiological processes like cardiovascular regulation, cognitive processes, and renal …

A cationic BODIPY-based G-quadruplex-selective stabiliser is developed and shown to
decrease cancer cell migration-invasion up to 90%. The expression of critical genes (HIF1α …
