Plasmonic Nanobubbles Rapidly Detect and Destroy Drug-Resistant Tumors
The resistance of residual cancer cells after oncological resection to adjuvant chemoradiotherapies results in both high recurrence rates and high non-specific tissue toxicity, thus preventing the successful treatment of such cancers as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The patients' survival rate and quality of life therefore depend upon the efficacy, selectivity and low non-speci...
متن کاملRapidly Mutating Drug - Resistant Viruses
Resistance to chemicals is a common current problem in many pests and pathogens that formerly were controlled by chemicals. An extreme case occurs in rapidly mutating viruses such as Human ImmunodeeciencyVirus (HIV), where the emergence of selective drug resistance within an individualpatient may become an important factor in treatment choice. The HIV patient subpopulation that already has expe...
متن کاملNanobubbles for enhanced ultrasound imaging of tumors
The fabrication and initial applications of nanobubbles (NBs) have shown promising results in recent years. A small particle size is a basic requirement for ultrasound contrast-enhanced agents that penetrate tumor blood vessel pores to allow for targeted imaging and therapy. However, the nanoscale size of the particles used has the disadvantage of weakening the imaging ability of clinical diagn...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanobubbles as Tunable Cellular Probes for Cancer Theranostics
This review is focused on a novel cellular probe, the plasmonic nanobubble (PNB), which has the dynamically tunable and multiple functions of imaging, diagnosis, delivery, therapy and, ultimately, theranostics. The concept of theranostics was recently introduced in order to unite the clinically important stages of treatment, namely diagnosis, therapy and therapy guidance, into one single, rapid...
متن کاملRainbow Plasmonic Nanobubbles: Synergistic Activation of Gold Nanoparticle Clusters.
The synergistic physical and biological effects of selective targeting and activation of plasmonic nanoparticles were studied for a transient vapor nanobubble mode. Simultaneous optical activation of two plasmon resonances in multi-nanoparticle clusters significantly improved the selectivity and efficacy of the nanobubble generation through and was termed "rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles." The ra...
