Preliminary Assays towards Melanoma Cells Using Phototherapy with Gold-Based Nanomaterials
Cancer like melanoma is a complex disease, for which standard therapies have significant adverse side effects that in most cases are ineffective and highly unspecific. Thus, a new paradigm has come with the need of achieving alternative (less invasive) and effective therapies. In this work, biocompa...
