Abstract
58 °C), and finally to necrosis (>61 °C). Based on this strategy, we can kill bacteria through an apoptosis-like mode. Better healing efficacy of mice wounds was achieved at a PTT temperature of 50 °C as compared to that at 58 °C, which sheds light on the wound disinfection and healing applications in clinics with a mild PTT strategy.
