Light-triggered release from thermoresponsive liposomes coated with gold nanoparticles. Irradiation with 760 nm light induced local heating, which released encapsulated drug from the liposome. (b) Triggerable local anesthesia in the rat footpad following injection (Inj) of thermoresponsive liposomes. Subsequent irradiation (purple arrows) with an 808 nm continuous wave NIR laser at 75, 141, and 272 mW/cm2 for 10 min led to adjustable degrees of local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is presented as % maximum possible effect. Reprinted with permission from the National Academy of Sciences [111] and the American Chemical Society.
