Figure 7

Organotypic brain slices (350-µm thick) treated for 1 h with the vehicles, G-AuNPs and DG-AuNPs (0.7 mg/mL) and irradiated with pulsed laser tuned at 760 nm at various power. DAPI was used to identify cell nuclei, and PI for cell death. Dotted circles represent heat-formed bubbles generated soon after irradiation. Scale bar: 50 µm.
