Biocompatible gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are particularly interesting for photo-thermal
therapy (PTT) of cancer treatment because of their ability to convert light into heating …

Before entering human clinical studies to evaluate their safety and effectiveness, new drugs
and novel medical treatments are subject to extensive animal testing that are expensive and …

Aim: To realize and characterize a new generation of keratin-coated gold nanoparticles (Ker-
AuNPs) as highly efficient photosensitive nanosized therapeutics for plasmonic …

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have been widely applied to photothermal therapy against cancer.
However, the chemically synthesized AuNRs such as that via seed-mediate method usually …

Although bulk gold is generally considered biocompatible and inert,[7] recent studies have
shown that gold NPs caused severe toxicity due to high-level accumulation in major organs …

Abstract Gold Nanoparticles based Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy (PPTT) has recently
been extensively studied in cancer treatment, based on the local hyperthermia induced by …

Herein, we present the research focused on the synthesis and application of aptamer-
modified gold nanoshells for photothermal therapy (PTT). NIR-absorbing hollow gold …

Ultrasmall polyaminocarboxylate-coated gold nanoparticles (NPs), Au@ DTDTPA and Au@
TADOTAGA, that have been recently developed exhibit a promising potential for image …

The mastery of active tumor targeting is a great challenge in near infrared photothermal
therapy (NIRPTT). To improve efficiency for targeted treatment of malignant tumors, we …

Gold and iron oxide hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) synthesized by the thermal decomposition
technique are bio-functionalized with a single chain antibody, scFv, that binds to the A33 …
