The Use of Fluorescent Probes to Detect ROS in Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy employs nontoxic dyes called photosensitizers (PS) that are excited by visible light of the correct wavelength to produce a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by an interaction between the long-lived PS triplet states with ambie

Preface The signaling properties of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological systems under physiological conditions are currently a hot and exciting area of research. For one side, ROS are a major consequence of the aerobic metabolism that can turn out as extremely harmful for most living organisms. Not surprisingly, an aberrant production of ROS in mammalian tissues has been associated with several critical diseases, including cancer, and with the aging process. However, different ROS-based molecular signaling mechanisms are being steadily characterized in different experiment
