Photodynamic Therapy: Methods and Protocols is a comprehensive guide that delves into the methodologies and protocols pertinent to photodynamic therapy (PDT) research. Edited by Charles J. Gomer, this volume is part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series and was first published in 2010. The book compiles contributions from leading PDT scientists and clinicians, offering a detailed collection of methods and protocols related to mechanistic studies, dosimetry, preclinical models, and clinical procedures in PDT research. Reflecting the expanding scope of PDT, the content moves beyond traditional concepts to explore various signal transduction and cell death pathways involved in treatment outcomes. Each chapter provides an introduction to its topic, a list of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and notes highlighting troubleshooting tips and potential pitfalls.
