Tissue Diagnosis, Phototherapy and Drug Delivery
This special issue belongs to the section "Drug Delivery and Controlled Release".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The combination of the delivery of special substances into tissues and consequent light action opens the way to numerous methods of tissue medical diagnosis and therapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PPT), and photobiomodulation. The current development in this field is associated with the creation of complex substances allowing the combination of beneficial effects and the effective control of the therapeutic process by biophotonic tools.
This Special Issue entitled “Tissue Diagnosis, Phototherapy and Drug Delivery” aims to present the current state-of-the-art in the creation of more effective substances and delivery techniques for PDT and PTT, as well as new optical methods of tissue diagnosis, PDT/PTT implementation, and control. New and renovated dyes, nanomaterials, and their composites are welcome.
We invite researchers from the pharmaceutical/food industry or academia to submit original research articles, review articles, or commentaries. This Special Issue will provide researchers with an up-to-date resource on how biophotonics can help in phototherapy and diagnosis.
