Mosquitoes are significant vectors, responsible for transmitting serious infectious diseases, including the recent epidemics of global significance caused by, for example, Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. The chemical insecticides in use for mosquito control are toxic and ineffective due to

Wound healing is an intricate process requiring the orchestration of cells, growth factors, cytokines, and the extracellular matrix. Cytokines, specifically TGF-beta, are believed to be instrumental in sustaining the fibrotic process, which leads to scarring. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses potent

In patients diagnosed with oral cancer, the most important prognostic indicator for patient survival after primary treatment is metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes or distal sites. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by aluminum-chloride-phthalocyanine entrapped
Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 31(1), 164-176 (2007-10-27)
Interstitial photodynamic therapy (PDT) selectively destroys tissue targeted with a photosensitizer and then exposed to light of a specific wavelength. We report a novel delivery method--intra-arterial drug delivery for PDT of the prostate--in a canine model. To evaluate drug distribution
British journal of cancer, 83(8), 1110-1117 (2000-09-20)
The apoptotic response of normal brain and intracranial VX2 tumour following photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by 5 different photosensitizers (Photofrin, 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), chloroaluminium phthalocyanine (AlCIPc), Tin Ethyl Etiopurpurin (SnET(2)), and meta -tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (m THPC)) was evaluated
