Medical molecules designed to respond to visible light that can penetrate tissue
...at they can use light at that wavelength to signal manmade molecules to release drugs at disease sites in the body. Such possibilities will be discussed in a poster and a talk by Virginia Tech researchers presenting at the 229th American Chemical Society national meeting in San Diego on March 13-17.
