  5. 8. Exploring nanosystems for biomedical applications focusing on photodynamic therapy and drug delivery

    Author : Vladimir Kirejev; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photodynamic therapy; PDT enhancement; Nitric oxide; NO-based PDT; Targeted drug delivery; Galectin-3; mTHPP; Cyclodextrin; CD-mTHPP conjugate; PpIX AuNP combination; Two-photon microscopy; FLIM; Cell phototoxicity; Ex vivo skin;

    Abstract : The increasing incidences of cancer and related deaths call for the development of new and improved treatment modalities. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) today is an alternative to conventional treatments, but has limitations. This thesis explores different nanosystems with aim to improve PDT focusing on spectroscopic and ex vivo studies. READ MORE

  6. 9. Device Fabrication and Photosensitizing Role of ZnO Nanostructures in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer

    Author : Kishwar Sultana; Magnus Willander; Omer Nour; Arne Rosén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Zinc oxide nanostructures; light emitting diodes; reactive oxygen species; photosensitizer; cancer cell; photodynamic therapy; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : In nanoscience and nanotechnology, zinc oxide (ZnO) is gaining much research attention due to direct wide band gap (3.3 eV), large exciton binding energy (60 meV), and deep level defects emissions that cover the whole visible range. READ MORE

  7. 10. Photodynamic therapy in the head and neck

    Author : Mathias von Beckerath; Claes Möller; Göran Laurell; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Photo Dynamic Therapy; Cancer; Skin; Larynx; 5-ALA; UVradiation; sarcoma; squamous cell carcinoma; porfimer sodium; temoporfin; voice; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Photodynamic therapy, PDT, is a method to diagnose and treat cancer. In PDT a sensitizer is administered to the patient and this sensitizer is accumulated in tumors. If the sensitizer-containing tumor is subjected to a laser of a specific wavelength the tumor is fluorescing allowing diagnostics. READ MORE
