Researchers at the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) have made a breakthrough in cancer ...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) consists of the administration of a photosensitizer combined with a light source at ...

In this Review, we explore the potential of one such technique, photodynamic therapy (PDT), for the treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer. PDT uses a photosensitizing drug that is activated ...

In a major step forward for cancer treatment, researchers have developed a new type of “smart” chemical that attacks aggressive breast cancer cells using light while sparing healthy tissue. The ...

Researchers have developed innovative compounds capable of precisely targeting cancer cells when activated by light. This ...

Michigan State University researchers developed light-sensitive chemicals to treat breast cancer, proving effective in mice with few side effects.

Results from a FAPESP-supported research center pave the way for expanding the use of photodynamic therapy in the fight ...

Although antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), which is considered an alternative or adjunct to mechanical approaches, has potential application as a less stressful method of daily plaque ...

[6,7] Photodynamic therapy has superior advantages in the treatment of OSCC due to its non-invasive or minimally invasive characteristics. [8] Photodynamic laser tissue penetration has some ...

One over-the-counter photosynthesizing agent is alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). You should know that photodynamic therapy can make you more sensitive to light for as long as three months post-procedure.
