Synthesis and application of new gadolinium-porphyrins as potential MR imaging contrast agents for cancer detection in nude mice [PDF]
Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd-TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM-138) xenografts.

Implanted Miniature Light Devices for Phototherapeutics
Modern phototherapeutics has many attractive features; however, the shallow penetration of light into skin and tissue is an inherent physical limitation that restricts usage to superficial sites of disease. To mitigate this major problem, researchers and clinicians are actively developing miniature implanted light devices that can be implanted within a

Disease Progression Mediated by Egr-1 Associated Signaling in Response to Oxidative Stress [PDF]
When cellular reducing enzymes fail to shield the cell from increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress arises. The redox state is misbalanced, DNA and proteins are damaged and cellular transcription networks are activated.

FLASH‐PDT uses strongly‐absorbing photosensitizers and pulsed lasers to saturate the photosensitizer absorption at ≈1‐cm tissue depths. This allows for the generation of [ROS] above the necrosis threshold level for tumors, while maintaining [ROS] in peritumoral tissues below that threshold, even when the tumor‐to‐peritumoral tissue ratio is as low as 2.
