Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation and antitumor photodynamic therapy with fullerenes /

This book provides detailed and current information on using fullerenes (bucky-balls) in photodynamic therapy (PDT), one of the most actively studied applications of photonic science in healthcare. This will serve as a useful source for researchers working in photomedicine and nanomedicine, especial...
