Abstract:
Liquid metal is considered an intelligent material capable of responding to environmental changes, and its applications in the biomedical field have been widely explored. In this work, we have developed a gallium-indium alloy nanomaterial (EGaIn-PEG NPs) as an intelligent platform for precise tumor photothermal therapy. Our research demonstrates that EGaIn-PEG NPs exhibit excellent computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast performance. Furthermore, under 1064 nm laser irradiation, EGaIn-PEG NPs show efficient heating effects, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and stability, enabling CT-guided tumor NIR-II photothermal therapy. This work promises to offer insights into the application of liquid metals for NIR-II tumor photothermal therapy.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
