Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjjkvxspg" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />We used silica–carbon hollow spheres (SCHSs) as material for thermal production under NIR laser irradiation. Concanavalin A (ConA), a lectin, was applied to enhance binding on the cell surface of liver cancer cells. We demonstrated that ConA conjugated SCHSs killed liver cancer cells efficiently.</p> </abstract>
