Abstract
cell viability studies. Hence, ICG@PSMA nanoparticles were further applied to enhanced PTT of living HeLa cells under 808 nm excitation, and a high PTT efficiency of ∼70% was obtained. The novel ICG nanoparticles as a promising PTT nanoplatform could offer an opportunity for further tumour treatments.
