Aptamer-Targeted Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy of Cancer
Novel nanoscale bioconjugates combining unique plasmonic photothermal properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with targeted delivery using cell-specific DNA aptamers have a tremendous potential for medical diagnostics and therapy of many cell-based diseases. In this study, we demonstrate the high anti-cancer activity of aptamer-conjugated, 37-nm spherical gold nanoparticles toward Ehrlich carc...
متن کاملAptamer-conjugated nanorods for targeted photothermal therapy of prostate cancer stem cells.
Prostate cancer results in about 30,000 deaths annually in the United States, making it the second leading cause of cancer mortality in men in the Western world. Therefore, it is of great significance to capture and kill prostate cancer cells. It is well known that cancer stem cells are responsible for the maintenance and metastasis of tumors. This concept offers the possibility of developing a...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanocages as Photothermal Transducers for Nanobubble Cancer Therapy
Plasmonics is emerging from among the most promising means for generating and controlling thermal energy at the nanoscale. In this approach, metallic nanoparticles are laser heated at plasmon resonant wavelengths that depend on the size, shape and properties of the particles. Key attributes of this method include remote optical activation, nanoscale resolution and efficient photothermal transdu...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapy: review article
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems of today modern societies which has an increasing rate especially in developing countries. There are many diverse ongoing treatment attempts trying to defeat cancer. Despite that, scientists have been unable to find a permanent cure for this disease. In many cases although there is a successful first response in patients, cancer cells are fina...
متن کاملAS1411 Aptamer Conjugated Gold Nanoclusters as a Targeted Radiosensitizer for Megavoltage Radiation Therapy of 4T1 Breast Cancer Cells
Introduction: In the present study, AS1411 aptamer conjugated gold nanoclusters (GNCs) have been introduced as a targeted radiosensitizer for enhancing megavoltage radiation therapy efficacy. RT has identified as an effective therapeutic modality for many different types of solid tumors. However, equal radiation beams absorption by tumor and surrounding healthy tissues is still...
