Photothermal therapy with silver nanoplates in HeLa cells studied by in situ fluorescence microscopy

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer relying on the incorporation of NIRlight absorbing nanomaterials into cells, which upon illumination release heat causing thermally induced cell death. We prove that irradiation of aqueous suspensions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-coated s...

We prove that irradiation of aqueous suspensions of poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-coated silver nanoplates (PVPAgNP) or PVPAgNP in HeLa cells with red or NIR lasers causes a sizeable photothermal effect, which in cells can be visualized with the temperature sensing fluorophore Rhodamine B (RhB) using spinning disk confocal fluorescence microscopy or fluorescence lifetime imaging.
