Abstract
Photodynamic action with a large number of photosensitisers has import ant practical implications such as photodynamic cancer therapy. But th e cellular and molecular mechanisms involved have been rather poorly u nderstood. Ln this paper, photodynamic modulation of cell signal trans duction and the resultant changes in cellular function are reviewed, w ith a particular emphasis on smooth muscle and the pancreas.
