Abstract:
Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Torres at the University of Madrid. The image of the cover of this issue depicts cancer cells being destroyed by reactive singlet oxygen produced by ruthenium phthalocyanine glycoconjugates under red light. The work, developed at the Universities of Madrid, Aveiro, Lisbon and Coimbra, describes ruthenium phthalocyanines as powerful bladder cancer PDT agents.
