Organically modified silica nanoparticles with photosensitizing drugs encapsulated for photodynamic therapy

• Organically modified silica nanoparticles, doped with photosensitizers, are synthesized, characterized and used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. These nanoparticles were uptaken by tumor cells in vitro and the effect of photon-induced toxicity was demonstrated.
