(a–c) Photothermal therapy effect on nude mouse under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation caused by the addition of Au nanoflowers (AuNFs). (a) HeLa tumor-bearing Balb/c nude mouse treated without addition of AuNFs; (b) HeLa tumor-bearing Balb/c nude mouse with the addition of AuNFs; (c) body weight change of mice with treatment time. Both experiments were performed under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. Reproduced with permission of DOVE Medical Press via Copyright Clearance Center from [44].
