FRET-Amplified Singlet Oxygen Generation by Nanocomposites Comprising Ternary AgInS$_2$/ZnS Quantum Dots and Molecular Photosensitizers [PDF]
Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (a-PDT) has emerged as a promising non-invasive therapeutic modality that utilizes the combination of a photosensitive agent, molecular oxygen, and excitation light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), demonstrating remarkable activity against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

A case of congenital erythropoietic porphyria without hemolysis
Porphyrias are group of disorders caused by deficiency of the enzymes in heme synthetic pathway. Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is an extremely rare disease with mutation in the gene that codes for uroporphyrinogen III synthase leading to ...

Porphyrias in the Age of Targeted Therapies
The porphyrias are a group of eight rare genetic disorders, each caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the excess accumulation of heme precursors and porphyrins. Depending on the tissue site as well

Photosensitive Gaseous Detectors for Cryogenic Temperature Applications [PDF]
There are several proposals and projects today for building LXe Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) for dark matter search. An important element of these TPCs are the photomultipliers operating either inside LXe or in vapors above the liquid. We have recently demonstrated that photosensitive gaseous detectors (wire type and hole-type) can operate ...
