Gold nanoparticle-enhanced and size-dependent generation of reactive oxygen species from protoporphyrin IX
TL;DR: The convergence of the experimental and simulated results suggests that Au NP-enhanced and size-dependent ROS formation can be attributed directly to the localized electromagnetic field as a result of surface plasmonic resonance of Au NPs under light irradiation.

Gold nanoparticle-enhanced photodynamic therapy: effects of surface charge and mitochondrial targeting
TL;DR: Positive surface charge with mitochondria-targeting domain onto Au NPs allowed their accumulation in the mitochondria of breast cancer cells to significantly elevate reactive oxygen species formation in 5-aminolevulinic-acid-enabled photodynamic therapy and improve selective destruction of Breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, gold nanodendrite (AuND)-based nanotheranostic agents with versatile capabilities were fabricated by optimizing the geometrical configurations (dendrite length and density) of AuND to achieve localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in near-infrared biowindow II (NIR-II), and then subsequently functionalizing with a mitochondria-targeting compound (triphenylphosphonium, TPP), loading with an NIR-photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG
