Biomaterials for Modern Cancer Imaging and Therapies: Methylene Blue for Fluorescence and Photoacoustic Imaging and Light-Induced Cancer Therapy - Hardcover

by Maoquan Chu (Author)

Methylene blue (MB) is a biocompatible and environmentally friendly material that has been widely used in clinical and biomedical research fields for over a century. In addition, it also has wide applications in other fields, such as dyeing and finishing industry, aquaculture industry, photocatalysis and food industry.This landmark publication is unique as it covers MB-mediated in vivo fluorescence, photoacoustic imaging and light-induced cancer therapy. The optical properties and photothermal effect of MB are also systematically described.
