Modular Polymers With Tuneable Charge and Amphiphilicity for Effective Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy.
A modular synthetic platform delivers polymers that integrate, within a single architecture, a hydrophilic backbone, hydrophobic side chains, charged groups, and photoactive agents for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Ruthenium complexes are used as representative photoactive systems, and clinical strains of...
