PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Romanian Journal of Medical and Dental Education, 2019
Biofilms that colonize tooth surfaces and epithelial cells lining the periodontal pocket ⁄ gingival sulcus (subgingival dental plaques) are among the most complex biofilms that exist in nature. Photodynamic therapy has been suggested as an alternative to

Targeted photodynamic therapy as potential treatment modality for the eradication of colon cancer and colon cancer stem cells

Tumor Biology, 2017
Colorectal cancer is commonly treated by tumour resection, as chemotherapy and radiation have proven to be less effective, especially if the tumour has metastasized. Resistance to therapies occurs in almost all patients with colorectal cancer, especially

Functional Materials Targeted Regulation of Gasdermins: From Fundamentals to Functionalities and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeted regulation of pyroptosis to modulate the immune landscape is a novel design strategy for cancer immunotherapy and anti‐inflammatory treatment. Pyroptosis, as a double‐edged sword, underscores the importance of optimizing the design strategy of functional materials and appropriately activating pyroptosis for the effective treatment of diseases.

$Δ$ADAPT-VQE: Toward Accurate Calculation of Excitation Energies on Quantum Computers for BODIPY Molecules With Application in Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]

arXiv
Quantum chemistry simulations offer a cost-effective way for computational design of BODIPY photosensitizers with potential use in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, accurate predictions of photophysical properties, such as excitation energies, pose a challenge for the popular time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and equation-of-motion ...

Implantable Biophotonic Device for Wirelessly Cancer Real‐Time Monitoring and Modulable Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wirelessly implantable biophotonic device is capable of distinguishing tumors and evaluating their progression by monitoring sO2 levels indicative of the tumor hypoxic microenvironment. Additionally, this device is not only employed for in situ PDT but also for concurrent monitoring of chemotherapy and PDT progress, thereby enabling the evaluation ...

From Plant Oils to High‐Performance Supercapacitor Electrode: Poly(guaiazulene) via Photopolymerization

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐induced synthesis of a conjugated conductive polymer, namely, poly(guaiazulene) (PGz) possessing superior supercapacitor electrode performance is achieved by a sustainable method involving solely the UV‐A irradiation of ethyl acetate solution of guaiazulene (a naturally occurring monomer) and an organic photoinitiator, phenacyl bromide.

Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles for Biophotonic Applications: Preparation, Characterization, and Simulation in Biohybrid Interfaces

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CP‐NPs), namely P3HT‐, PCBM‐, and P3HT:PCBM‐NPs are explored, from preparation to biophotonic applications. The obtained CP‐NPs exhibit visible absorption, red/near infra‐red (NIR) emission, and light‐induced photocurrent generation in physiological media, stable optoelectronic behavior and size uniformity. Simulations
