| Abstract Scope |
Remarkable progress has been made in the engineering of nanoparticles to be biocompatible and has direct cellular access which allows greater efficacy of cancer cell drug targeting and avoiding side effects for the healthy cells. Nanoparticles especially those made of silver and gold, have been receiving extensive attention owing to their extremely attractive plasmonic properties called “localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR)” that enables them to absorb and re-radiate photons when they are exposed to electromagnetic radiation. These nanoparticles are promising candidates for photothermal therapy and biochemical sensing. Using plasmonic nanoparticles we examine cancer cell imaging, photothermal therapy, and release and delivery of an anticancer drug from gold nanoparticle carriers by inducing localized plasmonic heating in the cancer cells region following NIR irradiation. This study has provided valuable insight into the application of nanoparticles in medicine and molecular biology. |
