Photothermal therapy of cancer cells using novel hollow gold nanoflowers
This article presents a new strategy for fabricating large gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) that exhibit high biological safety under visible light and very strong photothermal cytotoxicity to HeLa cells under irradiation with near-infrared (NIR) light. This particular type of AuNF was constructed using vesicles produced from a multiamine head surfactant as a template followed by depositing gold nanopa...
متن کاملGold nanoprobes for theranostics.
Gold nanoprobes have become attractive diagnostic and therapeutic agents in medicine and life sciences research owing to their reproducible synthesis with atomic level precision, unique physical and chemical properties, versatility of their morphologies, flexibility in functionalization, ease of targeting, efficiency in drug delivery and opportunities for multimodal therapy. This review highlig...
متن کاملMultimodal Gold Nanoprobes for SERS Bioimaging
Growing number of studies report on the improved sensitivity of various imaging modalities in detecting abnormalities within tumours. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) microscopy is a novel optical imaging technique which is advantageous in terms of greater multiplexing capability, minimal or no photobleaching of the Raman reporters, better spatial resolution and low signal-to-noise rati...
متن کاملIntracellular surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with thermally stable gold nanoflowers grown from Pt and Pd seeds.
SERS provides great sensitivity at low concentrations of analytes. SERS combined with near infrared (NIR)-resonant gold nanomaterials are important candidates for theranostic agents due to their combined extinction properties and sensing abilities stemming from the deep penetration of laser light in the NIR region. Here, highly branched gold nanoflowers (GNFs) grown from Pd and Pt seeds are pre...
متن کاملNear-IR mediated intracellular uncaging of NO from cell targeted hollow gold nanoparticles.
We demonstrate modulation of nitric oxide release in solution and in human prostate cancer cells from a thiol functionalized cupferron (TCF) absorbed on hollow gold nanoshells (HGNs) using near-infrared (NIR) light. NO release from the TCF-HGN conjugates occurs through localized surface heating due to NIR excitation of the surface plasmon. Specific HGN targeting is achieved through cell surface...
