| Research Abstract |
Photodynamic therapy is a next-generation cancer treatment based on cytotoxic singlet oxygen molecules producing photochemical reactions between photoexcited photosensitizers and molecular oxygen. In this study, photodynamic therapy-based drug delivery systems were developed to achieve the photo-inducible controlled release of pharmaceutical compounds from carriers.
