Abstract:
An ophthalmic composition is provided, comprising chlorophyll or bacteriochlorophyll compounds for photodynamic treatment (PDT) of diseases, disorders and conditions associated with corneal or scleral anomalies, such as corneal thinning and scleral stretching.
Abstract:
An anti-myeloid-derived suppressor cells agent (“anti-MDSCs agent”) and a bacteriochlorophyll derivative (hereinafter “Bchl-D) for use in combination therapy for cancer, wherein the anti-MDSC agent and the Bchl-D are administered sequentially and the administration of the Bchl-D is followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT) or vascular targeted PDT (VTP).

Abstract:
The invention provides anionic water-soluble tetracyclic and pentacyclic bacteriochlorophyll derivatives (Bchls) containing at least one, preferably two or three, negatively charged groups and/or acidic groups that are converted to negatively charged groups at the physiological pH, preferably Bchls having a group COO , COS , SO3 , PO3 , COOH, COSH, SO3H, and/or PO3H2 bound through an ester or amide bond to one or more of the positions 17 , 13 , and 3 of the tetracyclic or pentacyclic Bchl molecule, for photodynamic therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide is provided. The isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide of a Type II reaction center of a photosynthetic organism, the nucleic acid sequence being capable of imparting the type II reaction center with an activity under a temperature range different than that of the type II reaction center endogenous to the photosynthetic organism. Also provided are methods of using the sequences for generating photosynthetic organisms or tailor-made thermotolerance.

Abstract:
A method for treatment of prostate cancer or benign prostate hyperplasia by combination therapy comprising administering to a patient an androgen-deprivation therapy agent and a bacteriochlorophyll derivative followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT) or vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP).
