Inflicting controlled nonthermal damage to subcellular structures by laser-activated gold nanoparticles (2010)
Journal Article
Krpetic, Z., Nativo, P., Sée, V., Prior, I., Brust, M., & Volk, M. (2010). Inflicting controlled nonthermal damage to subcellular structures by laser-activated gold nanoparticles. Nano Letters, 10(11), 4549-4554. https://doi.org/10.1021/nl103142t

We show that low-intensity laser irradiation of cancer cells containing endosomal gold nanoparticles leads to endosome rupture and escape of the nanoparticles into the cytosol without affecting the cells’ viability. The low light intensity of our exp... Read More about Inflicting controlled nonthermal damage to subcellular structures by laser-activated gold nanoparticles.
