Hypocrellin: A Natural Photosensitizer and Nano-Formulation for Enhanced Molecular Targeting of PDT of Melanoma. [PDF]
Wiley Interdiscip Rev Nanomed NanobiotechnolNanotechnology and combination with natural photosensitizers are a prospective means of controlling cancer. Studies on photodynamic therapy (PDT) have shown that improvements in drug administration are required in order to preserve or enhance the mechanistic cell killing effects of PDT on malignant cells.
