The effect of photodynamic therapy in head and neck cancer: A comprehensive review of in vivo models

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review evaluates Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in in vivo head and neck cancer models. PDT effectively generates ROS, reducing tumor growth, cell proliferation and angiogenesis while enhancing survival and immune responses. However, methodological heterogeneity highlights the urgent need for standardized dosimetric protocols to ensure reproducibility

Theranostic Advancements in Brain Cancer: Promising Approaches for Emerging Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Strategies for improving intra‐arterial administration (A) and photodynamic therapy in brain cancer (B). Improving intra‐arterial (IA) administration and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for brain cancer involves enhancing tumor targeting and breaching the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Key strategies include super selective catheterization, using osmotic agents

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 May 2026.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
