Front Cover: Photoacoustic Imaging Using Polysaccharide‐Porphyrin Complexes by Photoirradiation at Long Wavelengths (Chem. Asian J. 18/2024)

The superior PA imaging intensity of a λ-carrageenan (CGN)–5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (Por) complex was observed to the retention of the porphyrin within CGN and its increased absorbance in the 680–800-nm range at pH 5.0. These findings highlight the potential of in CGN–Por as a theranostic agent for combined photodynamic therapy and PA imaging diagnostics in cancer treatment.
