title: Effective cell uptake of nanoassemblies of a fluorescent amphiphilic cyclodextrin and an anionic porphyrin.
abstract: An emitting nanoassembly composed of a novel amphiphilic cyclodextrin functionalised with a covalently appended fluorophore and an anionic porphyrin internalizes effectively in tumor cells, allowing simultaneously the detection of carrier and photosensitiser.
