A peek behind the paper – Giovanni Perotto and Luciano de Sio on nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy for glioblastoma multiforme

In this 'Peek Behind the Paper' feature, we take a look behind the scenes of a recent Research Article from the journal Nanomedicine, titled 'Biomimetic keratin gold nanoparticle-mediated in vitro photothermal therapy on glioblastoma multiforme'.  Here, Alice Bough, the Commissioning Editor for Nanomedicine at Future Science Group (London, UK), asks the corresponding authors of the study to provide us with an overview of their findings, including the drawbacks associated with current photothermal therapy (PTT) approaches in the field. Additionally, we hear more about how nanoparticles could be used in synergism with immunotherapy and what next steps the researchers will be...
