This collection explores state-of-the-art methods and prools for research on photodynamic therapy (PDT) and its use in a wide range of medical applications, from antiviral to anticancer. Beginning with an extensive section on
in vitro
and
in vivo
models, the volume continues with chapters on oxygen-independent photosensitizers, next-generation photosensitization strategies, contemporary insights into the immunomodulatory effects of PDT, antimicrobial effects of PDT, as well as a variety of general biochemical and molecular biological techniques. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series, chapters include the kind of detailed implementation advice that ensures successful results in the lab.
Thorough and authoritative,
Photodynamic Therapy: Methods and Prools
serves as an ideal source of inspiration for both new and established PDT scientists and a guide for designing innovative research programs in this continuously advancing and multidisciplinary field.
