An international team of researchers used abiotic assays, cultured cancer cells, and a melanoma animal model to demonstrate the photothermal therapy (PTT) activity of copper sulfide nanocrystals. The ...

In the PTT method, this light is converted to heat. In PDT, the light creates ROS. For PDT to be successful, sufficient ambient oxygen must be present to produce enough ROS to kill tumor cells.

PDT treatment is associated with producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate tumor cells. Taken together, the current multifunctional nanomotor is equipped with PTT, SERS, and PDT sensing ...

Combined PDT/PTT approaches for the treatment of brain tumors. Dual function nanoparticles are used for combined PDT/PTT approaches. In PDT, the PS to produce ROS can be attached to nanoparticles ...

Numerous previous research results have shown that gold nanorods (Au NRs) are able to effectively kill tumors upon irradiation with high laser doses, leading to hyperthermia-induced destruction of ...

Some of the graphene derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) exhibit plasmonic properties, which can transform energy from a laser to heat. These carbonaceous ...
