(A) Detection of intracellular ROS in CT-26 cancer cells treated with MS-rGO-FA and ICG@MS-rGO-FA nanocomposites, with or without NIR laser irradiation. Scale bars are 50 μm. (B) Mean fluorescence intensity of generated ROS in CT-26 cells with ICG@MS-rGO-FA nanocomposites, with or without NIR laser irradiation. (C) Quantitative analysis of the viability of CT-26 cells treated with MS-rGO-FA and ICG@MS-rGO-FA nanocomposites, with 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. (D) Fluorescence images of live/dead assay in CT-26 cells after treatment of MS-rGO-FA and ICG@MS-rGO-FA nanocomposites (100 μg/mL), with or without NIR laser irradiation. The live and dead cells were stained with calcein AM (green) and ethidium homodimer-1 (red). Scale bars are 50 μm.
