Photoactivation of photosensitisers can be utilised to elicit the production of ROS, for potential therapeutic applications, including the destruction of diseased tissues and tumours. A novel class of photosensitiser, exemplified by DC324, has been d... Read More about Photoactivated cell-killing involving a low molecular weight, donor-acceptor diphenylacetylene.
