Journal ArticleDOI

Photodynamic therapy and anti-tumour immunity

TL;DR: Photodynamic therapy uses non-toxic photosensitizers and harmless visible light in combination with oxygen to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that kill malignant cells by apoptosis and/or necrosis, shut down the tumour microvasculature and stimulate the host immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Death Pathways in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer

TL;DR: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging cancer therapy that uses the combination of non-toxic dyes or photosensitizers (PS) and harmless visible light to produce reactive oxygen species and destroy tumors as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photodynamic therapy with fullerenes

TL;DR: Fullerenes are a class of closed-cage nanomaterials made exclusively from carbon atoms that absorb visible light, have a high triplet yield and can generate reactive oxygen species upon illumination, suggesting a possible role of fullerene in photodynamic therapy.
