Recent Strategies to Develop Innovative Photosensitizers for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy

🤖 Plain-English Summary

This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Additionally, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs.

🔑 Key Findings

• Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS.
• Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects.
• PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.
