                    Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – August 2024 This month’s research highlight goes to Hirofumi Hanaoka and the team at Kansai Medical University, Japan. They developed a new laser fiber and method for illumination of narrow cavities, such as esophagus. With typical laser fibers, it is difficult to precisely illuminate target tumor in a narrow space at an oblique angle, since there is not enough space for fiber bending. The new lateral (side) emitting laser fiber was developed and evaluated for near-infrared photoimmunotherapy, which combines light, Continue reading →

 Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – July 2024 Exciting new findings in prostate cancer research were reported by Xinning Wang and team at Case Western University, Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and despite typically good prognosis, is a leading cause of cancer-related death. In the new study, the team combined chemotherapy with a novel light-activated, theranostic agent to enable targeted imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. Using ML7710 laser at 672 nm for activation of the drug, they were Continue reading →

Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – June 2021 The findings by Prof. Lothar Lilge and his team might enable improved treatment of diffuse lung metastasis which are difficult to treat with standard therapies. A novel lung perfusion platform significantly reduced tissue absorption and allowed better light penetration, resulting in up to 3-fold increased treatment volumes.   Read original publication   Modulight is very happy to be supporting this research.

    Results Tumor growth was significantly suppressed by photoimmunotherapy, compared to control or IgG without light activation. Tumor growth suppression, as well as overall survival after photoimmunotherapy, were significantly better with F(ab´)2 fragments than with full IgG. This efficacy improvement might be related to killer T cells, which were detected in much higher numbers after photoimmunotherapy with F(ab´)2 fragments and are key cells for the generation of efficient systemic antitumor immunity.       Related Modulight products and Services   Related Publications The Effect Continue reading →Customer case The Laboratory of Molecular Theranostics is a major research section of the Molecular Imaging Program at National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is led by Dr. Hisataka Kobayashi. The groundbreaking research includes the development of imaging and theranostic probes, which can aid in cancer detection and treatment. Dr. Kobayashi has invented near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) with IRDye700DX, which is currently in FDA-designated fast-track Phase 3 trials for inoperable Head & Neck cancer.
