Non-destructive, dynamic imaging of hsp70 response to nanoparticle mediated photothermal therapy in a 3D tumor mimic

摘要: Laser based photothermal therapy is a minimally invasive technique that relies on the absorption of energy by an irradiated tissue sample and results in deposition heat to destroy cancerous cells. The inclusion nanoparticles act as intense infrared absorbers allows for higher selectivity additional laser into desired material. One promising carbonaceous nanoparticle single walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) which have been demonstrated be effective photoabsorbers [1].Copyright © 2012 ASME
