Fig. 5From: Kinetically and thermodynamically controlled one-pot growth of gold nanoshells with NIR-II absorption for multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy(a) Schematic illustration of therapeutic effect studies in vivo. (b) The average change of tumor volume and (c) tumor weight of different treatment groups on the 15th day. Asterisks (*) represent a significant difference compared with the UGs@PEG + NIR group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. (d) Bodyweight changes in mice from different treatment groups for 15 days. (e) H&E (1st row), TUNEL (2nd row ), and Ki-67 (3rd row) staining of the dissected tumor tissues after different treatments. Scale bar: 50 µmBack to article page
