Cellular viability of drug-loaded GNRs@HSA/CS hybrid NPs (closed symbols), and free drugs (open symbols) expressed as survival rates for free DTX (filled black square, open black square) and free DTX + DOXO (filled red circle, open red circle), respectively, in breast MDA-MB-231 cancerous cells for a 24 h and b 48 h of incubation as a function of DTX concentration. c Cell viability induced by 808 nm CW laser illumination at several power intensities (0.0, 0.5, 2.0 W/cm2) after 24 and 48 h of incubation. Bare cells (red) and cells treated with bare HSA/CS (blue), PSS-coated GNRs@HSA/CS (green), PSS/DOXO-coated GNRs@HSA/CS (violet), DTX + PSS/DOXO-coated GNRs@HSA/CS NPs (orange) were irradiated for 4 min after 6 h of incubation in MDA-MB-231 cells. Dashed (survival rate at 100%), dotted (survival rate at 50%), dashed dot (survival rate at 75%) and dashed-dot-dot (survival rate of 25%) lines are only to guide the eye
