The targeted delivery of nanoparticles to solid tumors is one the most important and challenging problems in cancer nanomedicine, but detailed mechanisms design principles are still not well understood. Here we report quantitative tumor uptake studies for a class elongated gold nanocrystals (called nanorods) that covalently conjugated tumor-targeting peptides.
