Skin is the largest organ in the human body and functions as a protective barrier. Molecules can penetrate the skin by three main routes: (1) intracellular (across the corneocytes), (2) intercellular lipids, and (3) ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the synergism of a photosensitive drug (a photosensitizer) and visible light to destroy target cells (e.g., malignant, premalignant, or bacterial cells). The aim of this study was to ...

Number of studies and advances in health has been made in the discovery of new photosensitizers (PS) proposed as potentially useful in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of various diseases. Photodynamic therapy ...
