PURPOSE: It has been reported that Spirulina, a blue-green algae with potent antioxidant properties, affords significant protection against inflammation and fibrosis in the liver in vivo. The aim of the...
The effects of C-phycocyanin (C-pc), a phycobiliprotein, on the expression of pro-fibrotic mediators in hyper-tropic scarring such as connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and α-smooth muscle actins (α-SMA) were investigated...
OBJECTIVE: During the last several years, such as Photofrin(R), Photogem(R), HpD, and 5-aminolevulenic acid (ALA) has been used as photosensitizers for a wide range of malignant tumors as well as...
