Cisplatin-loaded hollow gold nanoparticles for laser-triggered release

Abstract Background Hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) exposed to near-infrared (NIR) light yield photothermal effects that can trigger a variety of biological effects for potential biomedical applications. However, the mechanism of laser-triggered drug release has not been studied before. Methods A...
