Development of a Highly Efficient Cancer Treatment Strategy using the Vibrionic-Driven Action of Synthetic Aminocyanines

Necrosis of cancer cells has been achieved through collaborative research between researchers at Texas A&M University, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Rice University using near-infrared light to induce vibrionic modes in the aminocyanines bound to the cell membrane.
