Polylysine as a functional biopolymer to couple gold nanorods to tumor-tropic cells
Abstract Background The delivery of plasmonic particles, such as gold nanorods, to the tumor microenvironment has attracted much interest in biomedical optics for topical applications as the photoacoustic imaging and photothermal ablation of cancer. However, the systemic injection of free particles...
