Two-photon chromophore-polymer conjugates grafted onto gold nanoparticles as fluorescent probes for bioimaging and photodynamic therapy applications
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative treatment of cancer requiring the use of chromophore molecules (photosensitizers), which can induce cell death after light excitation. Gold nanoparticles (AuNP), exhibiting localized Surface Plasmon Resonance, can enhance the photophysical response of chr...
