Abstract excerpt
The monocyte/macrophage cell lineage reveals an enormous plasticity, which is required for tissue homeostasis, but is also undermined in various disease states, leading to a functional involvement of macrophages in major human diseases such as atherosclerosis and cancer. We recently generated in vivo evidence that crystalline, nonfluorescent nanoparticles of the hydrophobic porphyrin-related photosensitizer...
