Findings from Dalian University of Technology Provide New Insights into Cancer (Mitochondria-targeted and Photo-activated Co Release for Synergistic Photodynamic Therapy).

A report from Dalian University of Technology in China discusses new findings on cancer treatment through mitochondria-targeted and photo-activated CO release for synergistic photodynamic therapy. The research focuses on a photosensitizer called Cy-Mn, which releases manganese ions under laser irradiation to induce phototoxicity in cancer cells. The study also highlights the potential of Cy-Mn for fluorescence imaging in vivo, enhancing its applications in imaging-guided photodynamic therapy. This research has been peer-reviewed and offers insights into innovative approaches for cancer treatment. [Extracted from the article]
