Development of gold nanoparticles stabilized by PLGA and PVA for application in photothermal therapy

Thus, these results underline the potential the PLGA-gold nanoparticles, particularly formulation A, for advanced applications in nanomedicine. In the future the encapsulation of drugs will be evaluated in order to characterise both the uptake and the cytotoxic capacity of this multifunctional nanomaterial. Additionally, the utilization of more complex in vitro models, such as tumor spheroids and animal models, will then be essential to determine the therapeutic potential of PLGA/gold nanoparticles.
