Influence of photodynamic therapy on immunological aspects of disease - anupdate

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilises light-absorbing compounds combined with directed photo-irradiation to produce clinical effects. This review update s advances in the understanding of the biochemical pathways triggered by PD T within cells, its influence upon different immune parameters and progress in the use of PDT against human immune-mediated disease. Several works hav e further defined the notable capacity of PDT to foster anticancer immunity .
