Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at Tampere University in Finland has introduced 3D biophotonic scaffolds capable of converting near-infrared (NIR) light to green emission, enabling the controlled release of nitric oxide. The research, funded by the Research Council of Finland and Academy, demonstrates the potential for light-triggered drug release in a spatial-temporal manner in vivo. The study found that the addition of upconverter crystals to the bioactive scaffold did not affect its porosity, mechanical properties, or cytocompatibility, indicating promising applications for this technology in pharmaceuticals and materials design.
