Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – October 2024 This month, we are highlighting new findings published in RSC Materials Advances by Olga Lem, Roosa Kekki and researchers at Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology research group and Tampere University. The study provides key insights into the role of lipid oxidation in cargo release from light-activated liposomes. These spherical lipid vesicles can be controlled by light to provide time- and site-specific drug delivery, for example for cancer treatment. Red light provides a non-invasive, selective, and safe trigger for releasing liposomal cargo. Modulight’s Continue reading →

McFarland   ML8500 was used for specialized dosimetry studies in the development of the osmium-based PS using similar drug development strategy as for the analogous Ru(II) series that resulted in TLD1433 (first metal complex in clinical trials). The Os-compound approaches the ideal properties with multi-wavelength activation Continue reading →
