Photodynamic Therapy High Impact Factor Journals
Photodynamic therapy ( PDT) is a clinically
approved treatment procedure for diseases characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of cells, in particular cancer. It involves the
administration of a photosensitizer (PS) capable of producing reactive oxygen
species ( ROS) after light irradiation, leading to selective neoplastic cell killing. The development of new PSs and
drug delivery systems which improve therapy efficacy and selectivity is a major challenge in PDT. To be effective in drug screening, it is important to use cellular systems that accurately replicate the target tissue
phenotype to obtain reliable biomedical data correlating with in vivo research. Thus, three-dimensional ( 3D) crops are particularly attractive as they incorporate chemical and mechanical signals from extracellular matrix ( ECM).
