Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition with limited treatments, affects millions globally. Here, the authors develop ionic liquid-coated gold core polymeric nanoparticles (Au-PLGA-IL NPs) for selectively targeted neutrophil co-localization, integrating the plasmonic properties of AuNPs with PLGA’s biocompatibility, further enhanced by ionic liquids, demonstrating significant apoptosis in endometrial cells via photothermal therapy.
