Copper and iodine can form tiny, cube-shaped structures called cubane-type metal clusters. These tiny cubes can change shape when exposed to light. This is not new, but scientists have struggled to capture these changes in real-time. Recently, researchers used a technique called time-resolved X-ray
First, let's talk about the tumor microenvironment, or TME. It's a tough place for treatments to work. Hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, and high levels of glutathione (GSH) make it hard for photodynamic therapy (PDT) to do its job. Scientists have been working on a way to turn these challenges into ad
Styrene monooxygenases are special enzymes that can tell the difference between left and right-handed molecules. These are known as enantiomers. They are part of a bigger family called Group E flavoprotein monooxygenases, or GEMs. These enzymes are great at making one enantiomer more than the other

Zinc phthalocyanine can be a real powerhouse for targeting illness. The problem is that it can cluster, which is a big weakness of the molecules. This could be solved by using a tiny particle. Researchers found out that mixing it with a sort of oil octane can solve the clumping problem. This proce
