Researchers Discover Porous Polymeric Materials Increasing Efficiency of Traditional Photocatalysts in Cancer Treatment

Researchers at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castellón have found porous polymeric materials that increase the efficiency of traditional photocatalysts in the treatment of cancer. Photodynamic therapy consists of introducing photocatalysts into tumour cells in such a way that when radiation (in the form of light) is applied, the photocatalysts destroy these cells as a result of the production of a reactive agent known as singlet oxygen.
