Abstract

Optical activation of photothermal nanoparticles permits remotely-triggered surface biomolecular reactions with high spatiotemporal resolution. We present a new method to selectively and locally control protein expression by internalizing photothermal nanocrescent particles carrying therapeutic genes within living cells.
