Author Description

This collection explores state-of-the-art methods and protocols 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 <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> 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 <i>Methods in Molecular Biology</i> series, chapters include the kind of detailed implementation advice that ensures successful results in the lab. <br>Thorough and authoritative, <i>Photodynamic Therapy: Methods and Protocols</i> 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.
