Platinum–gold nanoraspberries as effective photosensitizer in anticancer photothermal therapy

Abstract Background New nanophotosensitizers for photothermal cancer therapy (PTT) are still sought. In this paper we propose fancy shaped, non agglomerated core/shell PtAu NRs nanoraspberries (PtAu NRs) as potential nanophotosensitizers in PTT. Results Light microscopy images of two colon cancer ce...
