Photothermal genetic engineering.

Complex genetic, photothermal, and photoacoustic analysis of nanoparticle-plant interactions.

Understanding the nature of interactions between engineered nanomaterials and plants is crucial in comprehending the impact of nanotechnology on the environment and agriculture with a focus on toxicity concerns, plant disease treatment, and genetic engineering. To date, little progress has been made in studying nanoparticle-plant interactions at single nanoparticle and genetic levels. Here, we ...

Gold Nanorod Photothermal Therapy in a Genetically Engineered Mouse Model of Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Plasmonic nanomaterials are poised to impact the clinical management of cancer through their ability to convert externally applied energy into localized heat at sites of diseased tissue. However, characterization of plasmonic nanomaterials as cancer therapeutics has been limited to xenograft models, creating a need to extend these ̄ndings to more clinically relevant models of cancer. Here, we ev...

Photothermal Effect of Laser on Mole Removal: Analytical Model and Laser Suitability

Antimicrobial Photothermal Treatment of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa by a Carbon Nanoparticles-Polypyrrole Nanocomposite

Background: Nowadays, it is needed to explore new routes to treat infectious bacterial pathogens due to prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new strategy, eradicates pathogenic bacteria.Objective: In this study, the antimicrobial effects of a carbon nanoparticles-polypyrrole nanocomposite (C-PPy) upon laser irradiation were investigat...

In-vitro Study of Photothermal Anticancer Activity of Carboxylated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Background and Objective: Multi-walled Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNTs) as an important element of nanosciences have a remarkable absorption in the region of NIR window (650-900 nm) which can overcome the limitations of deep treatment in photothermal therapy. To disperse MWCNTs in water, it is proposed to attach carboxylated functional group (-COOH) to MWCNTs in order to increase dispersivity in wate...
