Polydopamine nanoparticles demonstrate photo-thermal property and ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Cancer and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are two of the health threats faced by modern humans. In this research paper, polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NP) are proposed as a potential material for the treatment of the two health issues. Experiments were carried out to illustrate the photo-thermal properties of PDA NP as well as its ability to eliminate perhydrol in vitro. Finally, the biocompatibility test was performed and the results proved that PDA NP is safe for human red blood cells.
