Cancer Treatment: A Near Infrared Light Triggered Hydrogenated Black TiO2 for Cancer Photothermal Therapy (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 10/2015)

PEG-coated hydrogenated black TiO2 nanoparticles are first reported as a novel agent for cancer photothermal therapy by D. Wang, A. Wu, and colleagues on page 1526. The findings demonstrate that near infrared laser-triggered nanoparticles exhibit high efficiency of cancer photothermal ablation, low toxicity to normal tissue, and are promising for further biomedical applications.
