Cancer is and always has been one of the biggest hurdles in the medical science field. The cost of clinical trials is often extraordinarily high, making repeated research difficult to conduct.

To combat this, the researchers used an NIR-absorbant cyanine dye that exhibits rapid photocuring. The team reports times of 60 seconds per layer and resolution as high as 300 micrometers.

In a major step forward for cancer treatment, researchers have developed a new type of “smart” chemical that attacks aggressive breast cancer cells using light while sparing healthy tissue. The ...

With minimal background compared with tandems containing cyanine dyes, the StarBright Red Dyes are also stable and can be fixed in formalin or alcohol-based fixatives. StarBright Dyes are ...

They created special salts made by combining two molecules—positively charged cyanine dyes and negatively charged carborane clusters. These salts absorb near-infrared light, which can pass ...
