Dendrimer-modified gold nanorods as a platform for combinational gene therapy and photothermal therapy of tumors

Abstract Background The exploitation of novel nanomaterials combining diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within one single nanoplatform is challenging for tumor theranostics. Methods We synthesized dendrimer-modified gold nanorods for combinational gene therapy and photothermal therapy (PTT)...
