Industry/Innovation/Related News:
February 26, 2020 —- Researchers at the University of Sheffield announced that they have been successful at synthesizing a new compound that can improve the success rate of photodynamic therapy when treating cancer. The new compound uses sharp infrared light to damage cells directly and potentially improve the success rate of photodynamic therapy PDT. However, the problem with PDT is its penetration that does not always kill cells deep within a cancerous tumor, allowing tumors to grow back again. Sensitizer is a key compound in PDT, in which a light-sensitive medicine given to the patient. And when activated by light, it produces highly reactive oxygen-based species that kill the cancer cells.
