NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT IRRADIATION OF PORPHYRIN-MODIFIED GOLD NANOPARTICLES PROMOTES CANCER-CELL-SPECIFIC CYTOTOXICITY

Near-Infrared Light Irradiation of Porphyrin-Modified Gold Nanoparticles Promotes Cancer-Cell-Specific Cytotoxicity

The use of nanoparticles has been investigated as a new cancer treatment.These can induce specific cytotoxicity in cancer cells.In particular, Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique characteristics.The maximum absorption spectrum of AuNPs can be adjusted to modify their size or shape to absorb near-infrared light that can penetrate into tissue withou
