Special Issue "Materials for Photobiology".

The International Journal of Molecular Sciences has published a special issue on "Materials for Photobiology," which explores the interactions between light and living organisms. The issue includes articles and reviews on the latest advances in light-responsive materials for photobiology, with applications in cancer therapy, microbial infections, aesthetic dentistry, and neurological disorder treatment. The articles cover topics such as nanoprodrugs for combined chemo-photodynamic therapy, selective modulators for breast cancer treatment, bichromophoric systems for bioimaging, and the use of photodynamic therapy for cancer and antimicrobial treatment. The issue also discusses the potential of photobiomodulation therapy in various medical fields, including neurology. The studies published in the journal focus on the use of light-responsive materials in photobiology and related biomedical areas, with the hope of inspiring further developments in the field.
