@psobolewskiPhD Fig 3 is the most convincing. It shows some photothermal killing dependent on cell type and laser power. No statistics.
@psobolewskiPhD finally, ponder the last line #17's abstract:
"both efficient cancer cell diagnostics and selective photothermal therapy are realized at the same time."
Diagnostics and therapy achieved? These are (very poor) experiments on *cell lines*. The hype is breathtaking.

@psobolewskiPhD That breathtaking hype however is nothing compared to the press release: "Researchers [.] have found tht by using gold nanorods, rather than nanospheres, they can detect malignant tumors hidden deeper under the skin & destroy them with lasers [.] - w/o harming the healthy cells.
