Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxicity of Nanoparticles
TL;DR: For nanoparticles to move into the clinical arena, it is important that nanotoxicology research uncovers and understands how these multiple factors influence the toxicity of nanoparticles so that their undesirable properties can be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Era for Cancer Treatment: Gold‐Nanoparticle‐Mediated Thermal Therapies
Laura C. Kennedy,Lissett R. Bickford,Nastassja Lewinski,Andrew J. Coughlin,Ying S. Hu,Emily S. Day,Jennifer L. West,Rebekah A. Drezek +7 more
TL;DR: The rapidly evolving field of gold nanoparticle thermal therapy is reviewed, highlighting recent literature and describing current challenges to clinical translation of the technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optically tunable nanoparticle contrast agents for early cancer detection: model-based analysis of gold nanoshells
TL;DR: Characterizing the optical behavior of gold nanoshells in tissue will aid in developing nanoshels as contrast agents for optical diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoshell-mediated photothermal therapy improves survival in a murine glioma model
Emily S. Day,Patrick A. Thompson,Linna Zhang,Nastassja Lewinski,Nabil Ahmed,Rebekah A. Drezek,Susan M. Blaney,Jennifer L. West +7 more
TL;DR: The results of these studies suggest that nanoshell-mediated photothermal therapy represents a promising novel treatment strategy for malignant glioma.
