Current clinical brain tumour therapy practices are based on tumour resection and post-
operative chemotherapy or X-ray radiation. Resection requires technically challenging open …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an efficient method of inducing localized hyperthermia and
can be achieved using gold nanoparticles as photothermal agents. However, there are …

Au nanoparticles with plasmon resonances in the near-infrared (NIR) region of the spectrum
efficiently convert light into heat, a property useful for the photothermal ablation of cancerous …

The photothermal ablation of solid tumors using exogenous, near-infrared (NIR)–absorbing
nanoparticles has been previously investigated using various preclinical models and is …

Previously, gold nanoshells were shown to be able to effectively convert photon energy to
heat, leading to hyperthermia and suppression of tumor growths in mice. Herein, we show …

We are developing a novel treatment for high-grade gliomas using near infrared-absorbing
silica–gold nanoshells that are thermally activated upon exposure to a near infrared laser …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a very aggressive primary malignant brain tumor and finding effective
therapies is a pharmaceutical challenge and an unmet medical need. Photothermal therapy …

We developed a very effective hyperthermia system for successful photothermal cancer
therapy. Instead of applying individual gold nanorods (GNRs) that can absorb NIR light …

The following study examines the feasibility of nanoshell-assisted photo-thermal therapy
(NAPT). This technique takes advantage of the strong near infrared (NIR) absorption of …

The deployment of hyperthermia‐based treatments for cancer therapy has captured the
attention of different researchers worldwide. In particular, the application of light‐responsive …
