" Photochemical Internalisation - Light Induced Delivery of Nanomedicines."
Photochemical internalisation (PCI) is a technology for enhancing and targeting drug delivery by illumination. PCI is ideally suited for delivery of nanomedicines, but works well also with several other types of drugs. PCI can be combined with other means for drug targeting, giving multiple levels of treatment specificity. An ongoing clinical study (phase I/II) where PCI is used to deliver the anticancer agent bleomycin has given very promising results.
