Title

Two-photon imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer cells using biofunctional gold nanorods

Author(s)

Abstract

Transferrin-conjugated gold nanorods were used for targeting, two-photon imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer cells. The presence of nanorods significantly reduced the laser power effective for therapy.
