An overview of semiconductor photocatalysis
Andrew Mills,Stephen Le Hunte +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the field of semiconductor photocatalysis can be found in this paper, where a brief examination of its roots, achievements and possible future is presented, and the semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) features predominantly in past and present work.

Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) using gold nanoparticles
TL;DR: The development of the PPTT method is discussed with special emphasis on the recent in vitro and in vivo success using gold nanospheres coupled with visible lasers and gold nanorods and silica–gold nanoshells coupled with near-infrared lasers.

Endogenous protoporphyrin IX, a clinically useful photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy.
TL;DR: Preclinical studies in experimental animals and human volunteers indicate that ALA can induce a localized tissue-specific photosensitization if administered by intradermal injection, opening the possibility of using ALA-induced PpIX to treat tumors that are too thick or that lie too deep to be accessible to either topical or locally injected ALA.

Photosensitizers: therapy and detection of malignant tumors
TL;DR: Perhaps the most significant advance during the past year has been the initiation of Phase III clinical trials of PDT vs standard therapy in treatment of superficial bladder cancer and obstructive endobronchial tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroporphyrins of the meso-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin series as tumour photosensitizers
TL;DR: Four new hydroporphyrins related to the tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins show the expected strong absorption bands in the red region of the visible spectrum and are found to be very effective tumour photosensitizers.

Oral versus intravenous administration of 5-aminolaevulinic acid for photodynamic therapy
TL;DR: The porphyrin sensitisation kinetics profile in the stomach, colon and bladder in normal rats following enterally and parenterally administered ALA was studied using microscopic fluorescence photometric studies of frozen tissue sections and the highest level of fluorescence was achieved in the gastric mucosa and in decreasing levels, colonic and bladder mucosa.
