Another mechanism of BM targeting is the phagocytosis-mediated uptake from the perisinusoidal macrophages. It is known that the perisinusoidal BM

In another recent publication, the photothermal effect of phospholipid-coated gold nanorods loaded into a poloxamer 407 hydrogel resulted in ≈4.5–5 log cycle reduction in the viable counts of a P. aeruginosa biofilm in comparison to the control sample [55].
