Breakthrough enables development of photosensitive drugs

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BARCELONA, Spain – A chemical nanoengineering breakthrough in light-regulated therapeutic molecules could lead to personalized medicine that limits treatment time of a given region and reduces unwanted results. Modifying biological processes with light has led to new fields of research such as optogenetics and optopharmacology as well as numerous new tools for biology and medicine. Combining drugs with external devices to control light could enable the development of photosensitive drugs, but researchers must enhance the photochemical response of the compounds and be able to stimulate them at visible...Read full article
