Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a promising antitumor and anti-bacterial treatment method for its high selectivity, non-invasiveness, and minimal side effects. However, cellular mechanisms may lead to PDT resistance and thus effect efficacy. The aim of this study is to test

Outcome in osteochondral allografting is limited by the immunological incompatibility of the grafted tissue. Based on a resistance of chondrocytes to photodynamic therapy in cell culture it is proposed that 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) might be used to inactivate

Protein ensembles control genome function by establishing, maintaining, and deconstructing cell-type-specific chromosomal landscapes. A plethora of small molecules orchestrate cellular functions and therefore may link physiological processes with genome biology. The metabolic enzyme and hemoglobin cofactor heme induces proteolysis of
