Visible Pulsed Laser-Assisted Selective Killing of Cancer Cells with PVP-Capped Plasmonic Gold Nanostars

A new generation of nanoscale photosensitizer agents has improved photothermal capabilities, which has increased the impact of photothermal treatments (PTTs) in cancer therapy. Gold nanostars (GNS) are promising for more efficient and less invasive PTTs than gold nanoparticles. However, the combinat...
