Real-time monitoring of photocytotoxicity in nanoparticles-based photodynamic therapy: a model-based approach.

Nanoparticles are widely suggested as targeted drug-delivery systems. In photodynamic therapy (PDT), the use of multifunctional nanoparticles as photoactivatable drug carriers is a promising approach for improving treatment efficiency and selectivity. However, the conventional cytotoxicity assays ar...
