The research on 「In situ real-time investigation of cancer cell photothermolysis mediated by excited gold nanorod surface plasmons」was selected as one of 2010 representative works of Academia Sinica
Post Date:2011-03-01
The work by the research team of Dr. Yang-Yuan Chen and Dr. Cheng-lung on photothermolysis of living EMT-6 breast tumor cells triggered by gold nanorods (AuNRs) has been published in Biomaterials, 31, 4104-4112 (2010). It was also selected as 2010 representative research of Academia Sinica. The morphology and plasma membrane permeability of the cells were key indicators to the phenomena. Their result provides useful information on evaluating and improving the performance of Au NRs-based photothermal therapy.
