There is great clinical interest in developing novel nanocarriers for hydrophobic cyanine dyes used as photosensitizing agents in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the present study we have employed nanoemulsion-templated oil-core multilayer nanocapsules as robust nanocarriers for a cyanine-type photosensitizer IR-786.
