• Abstract:

  Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that uses a photosensitizing compound, activated at a specific wavelength of visible light, to destroy a targeted cell via strong oxidizers that cause cellular damage, membrane lysis, and protein inactivation. One of the most well known photosensitizers is methylene blue (MB), which has photoeradication..
