VISUALIZING PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY IN TRANSGENIC ZEBRAFISH USING ORGANIC NANOPARTICLES WITH AGGREGATION-INDUCED EMISSION

Visualizing Photodynamic Therapy in Transgenic Zebrafish Using Organic Nanoparticles with Aggregation-Induced Emission

Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) employs accumulation of photosensitizers (PSs) in malignant tumor tissue followed by the light-induced generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species to kill the tumor cells.The success of PDT depends on optimal PS dosage that is matched with the ideal power of light.This in turn depends on PS accumulation in ta

Complex Dynamics in an Evolutionary General Equilibrium Model

We propose an exchange economy evolutionary model with discrete time, in which there are two utility-maximizing groups of agents which differ in the preference structure.Assuming an evolutionary mechanism based on the relative utility values realized by the two kinds of agents, we analytically and numerically investigate the existence of equilibria

A Review of the Biological Activities of Microalgal Carotenoids and Their Potential Use in Healthcare and Cosmetic Industries

Carotenoids are natural pigments that play pivotal roles in many physiological Quad Door functions.The characteristics of carotenoids, their effects on health, and the cosmetic benefits of their usage have been under investigation for a long time; however, most reviews on this subject focus on carotenoids obtained from several microalgae, vegetable
