Résumé
This paper presents a Monte-Carlo study focusing on the effects of gold nanoparticles on the energy deposition patterns produced by incident photons in the close vicinity of the mitochondrial network modeled as a tube. Spherical shaped gold nanoparticles of 30 nm diameter were placed in a micrometric (10 × 10 × 10 μm
