Product Description
With today's focus on targeted and minimally invasive therapies, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is now being studied and used to combat many disease states and to investigate critical biological questions. This groundbreaking resource brings you the latest advances in photodynamic therapy and offers you a solid understanding of the design, delivery and dosimetry of the three basic ingredients of PDT--photosensitizers, light and oxygen. The book covers novel areas of mechanistic and innovative translational approaches. Moreover, it gives you an overview of the important medical applications of PDT, including approved treatments, clinical trials, and investigated therapies for cancer and non-malignant diseases. |

The best text on PDT available by Tyler St Denis  5 Stars
January 02, 2009
Dr. Hamblin and Dr. Mróz have produced the most updated and comprehensive analysis of Photodynamic Therapy currently available. From a student with little previous understanding of photophysics and photochemistry, this book is not only easy to understand, but also very interesting. I have learned quite a lot from this book.

From the Preface
The development of photodynamic therapy (PDT) - an efficient method of treatment of cancer and some non-cancerous diseases - is a good example of successful application of results of basic researches and scientific ideas to the practical medicine. PDT effect has been transformed from a pure biophysical phenomenon (death of illuminated infusoria as was observed by Raap and Tappeiner in 1900) interesting for a limited group of scientists to the treatment modality that has...

| Molecular Biology of the Cell
by Bruce Alberts (Author), Alexander Johnson (Author), Julian Lewis (Author), Martin Raff (Author), Keith Roberts (Author), Peter Walter (Author)
For nearly a quarter century Molecular Biology of the Cell has been the leading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new Fifth Edition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe our current, rapidly advancing understanding of cell biology. To list but a few examples, a large amount of new material is presented on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the latest cancer therapies; apoptosis (now its own separate chapter); and cell cycle...
