Gold Nanorod-Mediated Photothermal Modulation for Localized Ablation of Cancer Cells

We estimated the photothermal transduction efficiency of gold nanorod (GNR) solutions for different GNR concentrations and irradiation laser power. In particular, we verified that the degree of cell death area could be modulated by GNR concentration and irradiation laser power. The efficacy of GNR-p...
