Important factors for cell-membrane permeabilization by gold nanoparticles activated by nanosecond-laser irradiation

Cuiping Yao, Florian Rudnitzki, Gereon Huettmann +2

Purpose: Pulsed-laser irradiation of light-absorbing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) attached to cells transiently increases cell membrane permeability for targeted molecule delivery. H…
