NANOPHOTOSENSITIZERS FOR REGENERATIVE PHOTOTHERAPY
ABSTRACT The excitement about nanomedicine stems from the potential application of nanoscience to solve challenging medical problems. Inorganic nanoparticles (iNPs) exhibit unique properties that favor their diverse application in medicine, engineering, science, and technology. The large surface-to-volume ratio of these iNPs provides sites for the attachment of multiple drugs or imaging agents for therapy and imaging of diverse human diseases. Further conjugation of biological entities, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, confers specific targeting of these iNPs to desired tissues in vivo. Recent studies have shown that the intrinsic properties of some iNPs can be harnessed for…
