Complexing Methylene Blue with Phosphorus Dendrimers to Increase Photodynamic Activity

Complexing Methylene Blue with Phosphorus Dendrimers to Increase Photodynamic Activity

The efficiency of photodynamic therapy is limited mainly due to low selectivity, unfavorable biodistribution of photosensitizers, and long-lasting skin sensitivity to light. However, drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles may overcome the limitations mentioned above. Among others, dendrimers a...
