Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Photochemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited for deep-seated lesions due to poor light penetration.
  • Conventional PDT relies on external light sources, restricting treatment depth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the limitations of visible light penetration in deep PDT.
  • To introduce a novel self-exciting photosensitizer for enhanced PDT efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a genetically-encoded photosensitizer: NanoLuc-miniSOG.
  • Utilizing an internal light source for self-excitation of the photosensitizer.

Main Results:

  • The NanoLuc-miniSOG system provides an internal light source, overcoming external light penetration issues.
  • This self-excitation mechanism is highly beneficial for treating deep-seated lesions with PDT.

Conclusions:

  • Genetically-encoded NanoLuc-miniSOG offers a promising solution for deep PDT.
  • This approach significantly enhances the potential of PDT for internal and hard-to-reach tumors.
