Aluminum chloride phthalocyanine in MCF-7: Rationally accounting for state of aggregation of photosensitizers inside cells

Current limited understanding of the intracellular self-aggregation process of several photosensitizers is one of the obstacles in the progress of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) as a clinically viable option to photomodulate the biological responses. This is further intensified by the higher in vitro experimental complexity as compared to the experiments carried out in simple solution. This study describes the...
