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

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

In glioma surgery, Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence may identify residual tumor that could be resected while minimizing damage to normal brain. We demonstrate that improved sensitivity for wide-field spectroscopic fluorescence imaging is achieved with minimal disruption to the neurosurgical workflow

Journal of neurosurgery, 123(3), 771-780 (2015-07-04)
Previous studies in high-grade gliomas (HGGs) have indicated that protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulates in higher concentrations in tumor tissue, and, when used to guide surgery, it has enabled improved resection leading to increased progression-free survival. Despite the benefits of complete

Daylight-mediated photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) using methyl-5-aminolaevulinate (MAL) is effective for thin, grade I, actinic keratoses (AK). There are no published studies of other photosensitizers used in DL-PDT. To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of 5-aminolaevulinic acid nanoemulsion (BF-200 ALA)
