Laser-excited gold nanoparticles for treatment of cancer cells in vitro

Synthesis of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles by nanosecond laser ablation

“…Finding the most suitable PTT agent is essential for the progress and possible implementation of this therapy in clinical trials, nevertheless it has been and still a challenge for researchers because of the peculiar properties a PTT agent must possess. Noble nanomaterials have been the most explored so far, especially the ones made of Au [5][6][7][8]. However, its practical application is limited by their high cost, and other materials are being considered [9][10][11].…”
