Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – July 2025

The spotlight of the month goes to Andrew Langley et al. at Tufts University, USA, for their impressive work in leveraging photoacoustic imaging for real-time monitoring of phototherapy. Photoacoustic imaging is 3D, non-ionizing and non-invasive imaging method, based on optical absorption that creates pressure waves detected by ultrasound transducer.

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – June 2025

Chen-Hua Ma et al. ​​Optical Therapeutics & Nanotechnology Laboratory at University of Maryland combined photoimmunotherapy with ethanol ablation to achieve improved drug retention and light penetration, especially important for treating pigmented organs like liver and pancreas. Modulight’s ML7710 laser was used for both therapeutic activation of the nanoconstruct, as well as for theranostic monitoring of the process.

ML7710 for photoactivated treatment of lung cancer

Deadliest cancer Precision with photoactivation Photoimmunotherapy with ML7710 offers a clinical therapeutic option for NSCLC patients even with advanced disease stage. Besides laser light, this therapy involves photoactivated drug, which can be activated precisely at the tumor site with laser fibers, hence minimizing drug effects to healthy tissues. Smaller invasiveness compared to surgery can enable

Light-induced drug delivery with indocyanine green liposomes

Introduction to light-controlled drug delivery systems Study description It is important that light-triggered liposomes efficiently release their contents, while the liposome stability should be maintained in the absence of laser light. The aim of this study is to determine how liposomal stability and drug release are affected by liposomal formulation. Indocyanine green was used as the light-sensitizing compound
