Modulight Spotlights: LASER-SHARP RESEARCH – April 2026 This month we are pleased to highlight new interesting article by Naoya Kondo and the team at Kansai Medical University in Japan. They developed a cancer cell-targeted photoimmunotherapy compound consisting of IR700 photoabsorber conjugated to bicyclic peptide. Use of small peptide could speed drug clearance from the body [...]
