  • Title: Silica-based nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy applications.
    Author: Couleaud P, Morosini V, Frochot C, Richeter S, Raehm L, Durand JO.
    Journal: Nanoscale; 2010 Jul; 2(7):1083-95. PubMed ID: 20648332.
    Abstract:
    Silica-based nanoparticles for applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have emerged as a promising field for the treatment of cancer. In this review, based on the pathway the photosensitizer is entrapped inside the silica matrix, the different methods for the synthesis of silica-based nanoparticles are described from the pioneering works to the latest achievements which concern multifunctional nanoplatforms, up-converting nanoparticles, two-photon PDT, vectorization and in vivo applications.
