Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by the Dennis K. P. Ng group from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Pui-Chi Lo group from the City University of Hong Kong. The image illustrates the activation of a phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer through cleavage of the disulfide linker by intracellular glutathione (GSH) and separation from the ferrocenyl boron dipyrromethene-based dark quencher.
