The efficacy of photodynamic treatment (PDT) against deep-seated tumor is hindered by low penetration depth of light as well as hypoxic conditions which prevails in tumor. To overcome this limitation, Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photosensitizers have been investigated actively. In the present study we evaluated the PDT efficacy of an NIR absorbing chlorophyll derivative 'Cycloimide Purpurin-18 (CIPp-18)' in Human Breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and cervical adenocarcinoma (Hela) cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

Background: Recently, several devices exploiting the near-infrared autofluorescence (NIR-AF) of parathyroid glands (PGs) have been developed. Nevertheless, their impact on both preserving PGs from inadvertent surgical dissection and on post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (hypoPTH) is controversial.

Methods: A retrospective study of 845 patients undergoing thyroid surgery in 2 academic tertiary centres was conducted.

Near-infrared (NIR)-II fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential for precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors in deep tissues; however, its performance is severely limited by the undesired aggregation of photosensitizers and the competitive relationship between fluorescence emission and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Herein, we report an example of an anionic pentamethine cyanine (C5T) photosensitizer for high-performance NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PDT. Through the counterion engineering approach, a triphenylphosphine cation (Pco) modified with oligoethylene glycol chain is synthesized and adopted as the counterion of C5T, which can effectively suppress the excessive and disordered aggregation of the resulting C5T-Pco by optimizing the dye amphipathicity and enhancing the cyanine-counterion interactions.

Viscosity is a fundamental property in biological systems, influencing organelle function and molecular diffusion. Abnormal viscosity is associated with diseases such as metabolic disorders, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Lysosomes, central to cellular degradation and recycling, are sensitive to viscosity changes, which can disrupt enzymatic activity and cellular homeostasis.

Precise surgical resection of prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant clinical challenge due to the impact of positive surgical margins on postoperative outcomes. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) enables real-time tumor visualization using fluorescent probes. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated an indocyanine green (ICG)-based PSMA-targeted near-infrared probe, , for intraoperative imaging of PCa lesions.
