Photodynamic therapy in endodontics [PDF]
International Endodontic Journal, 2018 AbstractPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality that was initiated in 1900; however, it was not until the last decade that PDT regained attention for its several favourable features during the treatment of microbial infections in endodontics. Recently, several papers advocated its use for root canal treatment.

Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of onychomycosis – a review
Przegląd Dermatologiczny, 2017 Toenail onychomycosis is a common infection, affecting up to 14% of the population. Moreover, poor penetration of topical drugs into the nail bed leads to frequent recurrences of the disease. The cure rate of toenail onychomycosis is estimated at 63–76%.

Photodynamic therapy influence on anti-cancer immunity [PDF]
, 2009 The system of partial differential equations describing tumor-immune dynamics with angiogenesis taken into account is presented. For spatially homogeneous case, the steady state analysis of the model is carried out. The effects of single photodynamic impact are numerically simulated.

Targeting cytochrome C oxidase in mitochondria with Pt(II)-porphyrins for Photodynamic Therapy [PDF]
, 2010 Mitochondria are the power house of living cells, where the synthesis of the chemical "energy currency" adenosine triphosphate (ATP) occurs. Oxidative phosphorylation by a series of membrane protein complexes I to IV, that is, the electron transport chain, is the source of the electrochemical potential difference or proton motive force (PMF) of protons

Singlet oxygen luminescence detection with a fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detector [PDF]
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 4, pp. 5005-5013 (2013), 2013 Direct monitoring of singlet oxygen (1O2) luminescence is a particularly challenging infrared photodetection problem. 1O2, an excited state of the oxygen molecule, is a crucial intermediate in many biological processes. We employ a low noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detector to record 1O2 luminescence at 1270 nm wavelength from a model ...
