a The cytotoxicity study of Cu@SA, Au@SA, and Au/Cu0@SAnanocubes with HepG2-Red-FLuc liver cancer cells by using MTT assay through 100 ppm in Cu concentration. b Live (green color) and dead cells (red color) stained with fluorescent green dye (Calein-AM) and red dye (propidium iodide), respectively, for cancer cells treated with Cu@SA, Au@SA, and Au/Cu0@SA nanocubes (one representative data was shown from three independently repeated experiments). c The profiles of cells viability with different Au0.02Cu0.98@SA concentrations for 24 h incubation at 37 °C. d Flow cytometry analysis of HepG2-Red-FLuc cancer cells treated with Cu@SA, Au@SA, and Au/Cu0@SA nanocubes. All data were obtained in triplicate (n = 3, the error bars represented mean ± SD). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
