TL;DR: A novel theranostic platform based on biodegradable plasmonic gold nanovesicles for photoacoustic (PA) imaging and PTT with improved clearance of the dissociated particles after the completion of PTT is reported.

TL;DR: Iron is distributed over laminae in a pattern that is suggestive of each region’s myeloarchitecture and forms the dominant source of the observed MRI contrast.

TL;DR: The self-assembly, modeling, and applications of APMN assemblies in selective solvents resulted in strong absorption in near-infrared range due to the remarkable plasmonic coupling of Au cores, thus facilitating their biomedical applications in bioimaging and photothermal therapy of cancer.

TL;DR: Effective transvascular drug delivery into malignant glioma cells can be accomplished by using nanoparticles that are smaller than 11.7 to 11.9 nm in diameter, which is the therapeutically relevant upper limit of blood-brain tumor barrier pore size.

TL;DR: A good tumor targeting profile was observed, which was attributable to both the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and biovector mediated targeting, which promises ferritin particles as a powerful nanoplatfom in the era of nanomedicine.
