Abstract
tumor photothermal therapy was carried out, where the biocompatible Au@Pd-CS-FA HNRs penetrate intensely into the tumor cells and consequently show remarkable therapeutic effects. The idea about plasmonic modulation behind the bimetallic core-shell nanostructure in this report can be extended to construct new classes of metal-based nanotheranostic agents with dual-modal combined therapy as an alternative to traditional chemotherapy.
