Polymer Dynamic Organic Theranostic Spheres for Photothermal Therapy and Fluorescent Imaging of Cancer
Nanoparticle mediated photothermal ablation of cancer is a promising technique that utilizes light energy to destroy cancer cells. Specifically, nanoparticles that absorb in the near infrared (NIR) region of light, 700 - 900 nm, are optimal because these wavelengths are an absorption minimum for …
