Bismuthene nanodiscs use mild heat to switch on gene editing that dismantles a tumor's heat defenses, creating a feedback loop that kills cancer cells more effectively.

Unlike traditional spectrometric methods, which gather data based on the light a sample transmits, reflects, or emits, photothermal spectroscopy focuses on detecting the heat generated through ...

Researchers develop a novel biomimetic carbon nanohorn complex with cancer cell membranes and paclitaxel for efficient delivery of drug to targeted site. This approach integrates photothermal therapy, ...

Professor Jin-ho Chang’s research team from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST (President Kun-woo Lee) developed “Ultrasound-assisted photothermal therapy ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

Hydrogen sulfide is usually a highly toxic gas. However, with careful preparation, it can be used to support photothermal therapy (PTT) in treating cancer, as a team of researchers reporting in the ...

The light-driven mechanism ensures that hydroxyapatite nanoparticles effectively enter cancer cells without affecting surrounding healthy cells, which enhances the precision of the treatment. While ...

Professor Jin-ho Chang's research team from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST (President Kun-woo Lee) developed "Ultrasound-assisted photothermal therapy ...

Molecularly targeted therapies are increasingly relevant in clinical oncology, as they enable the selective modulation of specific biologic targets—such as enzymes or receptors—by inhibiting or ...
