Multifunctional gold nanostar-based nanocomposite: Synthesis and application for noninvasive MR-SERS imaging-guided photothermal ablation

Cancer characterization and diagnosis with SERS-encoded particles

“…This (Fig. 7) (Gao et al 2015;Huang et al 2016;Jokerst et al 2012b;Kircher et al 2012). However, it is worth stressing that the in vivo biomolecular interactions of nanoparticles at extracellular, intracellular and cell surface levels are extremely complex and far from being well understood.…”

“…Likewise, since magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is also a technique widely used, bimodal SEPs combining SERS and magnetism have been similarly developed. Most of the reported structures are achieved by conjugating magnetic particles onto the outer silica shell of SEPs (Gao et al 2015;Ju et al 2015;Kircher et al 2012). Finally, trimodal SEPs ( Fig.…”

Gold Nanorods as Nanodevices for Bioimaging, Photothermal Therapeutics, and Drug Delivery

“…[59][60][61] For metallic nanoparticles such as gold nanorods that can support photothermal effect, the heat converted from absorbed light can be applied actively to release drugs. Hence gold nanorods have been employed as drug delivery vehicles in vitro, 62) although they have been rarely assessed for in vivo delivery.…”

Anisotropic Gold-based Nanoparticles: Preparation, Properties, and Applications

“…After intravenous injection of the nanoparticles to tumor-bearing mice and light irradiation of the tumor, the temperature of the irradiated site increased to 55°C, and tumor damage and elongation of survival time of the mice was observed. 107 …”
