Liposomes encapsulating DNA-intercalating molecules: an approach for Photodynamic Therapy application [PDF]
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has been widely explored for the treatment of some types of cancer as a selective and minimally invasive therapy, making use of photosensitizers (PS) that in presence of oxy-gen and light produce reactive oxygen species and ...

Excitons with charge transfer in sncl2-phthalocyanine films [PDF]
The absorption, modulated photoreflectance, and photovoltage spectra of dichlorotin phthalocyanine (SnCl2Pc) films have been measured. These films are thermally deposited in vacuum at different substrate temperatures. The energies of charge-transfer-states (CT-states) in SnCl2Pc films (1.35, 1.52, and 2.05 eV) and the diffusion length of Frenkel ...

Phthalocyanine photosensitizers as contrast agents for in vivo photoacoustic tumor imaging
There is a need for contrast agents for non-invasive diagnostic imaging of tumors. Herein, Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) was employed to evaluate phthalocyanines commonly used in photodynamic therapy as photoacoustic contrast agents.

Clinical development of photodynamic agents and therapeutic applications
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is photo-treatment of malignant or benign diseases using photosensitizing agents, light, and oxygen which generates cytotoxic reactive oxygens and induces tumour regressions. Several photodynamic treatments have been

Photosensitive Strip RETHGEM [PDF]
An innovative photosensitive gaseous detector, consisting of a GEM like amplification structure with double layered electrodes (instead of commonly used metallic ones) coated with a CsI reflective photocathode, is described. In one of our latest designs, the inner electrode consists of a metallic grid and the outer one is made of resistive strips; the ...
