Due to strong electric fields at the surface, absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by noble metal nanoparticles are strongly enhanced. These unique properties provide potential designing novel optically active reagents for simultaneous molecular imaging photothermal cancer therapy. It is desirable use agents that in near-infrared (NIR) region spectrum minimize light extinction intrinsic chromophores native tissue. Gold nanorods with suitable aspect ratios (length divided...
Noble metal nanostructures attract much interest because of their unique properties, including large optical field enhancements resulting in the strong scattering and absorption light. The enhancement photothermal properties noble nanoparticles arises from resonant oscillation free electrons presence light, also known as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). can either radiate light (Mie scattering), a process that finds great utility imaging fields, or be rapidly converted to heat...

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. A major advantage using as "tracer" accumulated other organs can be quantitatively determined by elemental mass spectrometry (gold...
Photo-thermal therapy (PTT) is a minimally-invasive in which photon energy converted into heat to kill cancer. Gold nanoparticles absorb light strongly and convert quickly efficiently, thereby making them superior contrast agents for PTT.
