This paper presents a theoretical model analyzing parameters that may optimize metal nanoparticle-aided EMF photothermal therapy effects on cancer cells. The model suggests efficacy depends on both electric field enhancement and thermal (hyperthermia) contributions, influenced by nanoparticle absorption properties…

This in vitro study evaluated radiofrequency (RF) radiation with and without gold nanoparticles in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cancer cells as a potential approach for renal cell carcinoma treatment. The authors report reduced cell survival in one RF-exposed group versus control, and additional reductions in…

This in vitro study examines RF-induced heat production in citrate-capped gold nanoparticle suspensions while minimizing confounding Joule heating from ionic buffers. It reports size-dependent heating detectable only for ≤10 nm particles, with heating scaling with concentration and surface area and being attenuated…
Noninvasive radiofrequency field-induced hyperthermic cytotoxicity in human cancer cells using cetuximab-targeted gold nanoparticles.

This in vitro study reports that shortwave (MHz-range) RF exposure can induce strong cytotoxicity in EGFR-overexpressing human cancer cells when those cells have internalized cetuximab-targeted gold nanoparticles. Control nanoparticles showed minimal uptake and substantially lower cytotoxicity under RF exposure. An…
