Photodynamic and photothermal human cancer cell killing using gold nanoparticles

Cells from a human fibroblast cell line (HeLa) were used to explore the role of photothermal and photodynamic effects of laser irradiation using plasmonic gold nanoparticles. The two types of spherical gold nanoparticles used were (i) citrate- stabilised and (ii) peptide stabilised particles. These...
