In this paper, we have simulated the efficacy of gold/gold sulfide (GGS) nanoshells in NIR laser hyperthermia to achieve effective targeting for tumor photothermal therapy. The problem statement takes into account the heat transfer with the blood...

Introduction

Application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient photothermal effects. Gold-gold sulfide (GGS) is considered as one of these nanostructures. This study...

of gold-gold sulfide (GGS) nanoshells. Materials and Methods: Synthesis and characterization of GGS nanoshells were initially performed. CT26 cells were ubcutaneously injected into the flank of BALB/c mice to create the colon carcinoma tumor models...
