In this study, we present our previously fabricated star-shaped magnetic-plasmonic Au@Fe3O4 nanostars as promising agents for photothermal therapy. The nanostars exhibit a photothermal conversion efficiency of ~60% at a concentration of 25 μg/mL under 808 nm laser irradiation. WST-1 analysis revealed that Au@Fe3O4 nanostars moderately reduced the viability of human hepatocarcinoma Huh7 cells after 24 h exposure at concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 μg/mL, accompanied by notable morphological alterations. Flow cytometry demonstrated that treatment with 5 μg/mL nanostars followed by 20 min of laser irradiation resulted in 79% elimination of cancer cells. Furthermore, photothermal therapy increased cellular granularity, with highly granulated cells comprising 23% of the population compared to 4% in untreated controls. The viability of these highly granulated cells decreased to 17% post-treatment. Interestingly, photothermal therapy reduced the proportion of apoptotic cells among Huh7 subpopulations relative to the overall number of dead cells.

We designed a handheld and fast mid-infrared fiber-optic spectral probe using a quantum cascade laser (QCL) and a reduced range of wavelengths, to see if keratinocytic carcinoma (KC) could be distinguished from adjacent nonmalignant tissue using discarded skin tissues from Mohs surgery. This study employed two adjacent frozen sections of discarded tissue: one was stained with H&E (the gold standard for skin cancer diagnosis) to identify the location of cancer by a pathologist, while the other was left unstained for mid-infrared spectral probing on and off cancer as guided by the adjacent H&E stain. A total of 346 spectra from 18 consenting patients were collected during Mohs surgery. After adding a dehumidifier, an accuracy of 95% was obtained on a case sample basis. It will be worthwhile to assess the probe's utility at the surface of live human skin (study approved by the Advarra Institutional Review Board [PRO00044823]).
