“…Among them, photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new antitumor method, has the advantages of strong control ability, deep tissue penetration, high treatment efficiency, and weak side effects [ 6 , 7 ]. When PTT directly anchors to the nucleus, it can damage DNA by accurately nucleus-burning, thereby destroying the function and behavior of cells and achieving efficient cell killing ability [ 8 , 9 ]. More importantly, the precise destruction of the nucleus can effectively cutoff the triggering of inhibition mechanisms to photothermal effect, such as the up-regulation of intracellular heat shock protein, so as to ensure the efficient killing ability of tumor cells and inhibit the occurrence of metastasis [ 10 , 11 ].…”
