Photodynamic Therapy: Controllable Photodynamic Therapy Implemented by Regulating Singlet Oxygen Efficiency (Adv. Sci. 7/2017)

Wenting Wu, Jianzhang Zhao and co-workers present a summary of various controllable photodynamic therapy strategies based on switching the singlet oxygen on-off process in article number 1700113. At the same time, the action mechanisms of different controllable PDT strategies, such as photoinduced electron transfer, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, intramolecular charge transfer and some physical/chemical means, are described carefully.
