16 mar 2021 · Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive research attention as a noninvasive and selective treatment strategy for numerous cancers. PTT functions via photothermal effects induced by converting light energy into heat on near-infrared laser irradiation.
1 sty 2010 · 1.2 Nanoshell- Assisted Photothermal Therapy. The tunability of nanoshells enables potential use in biological applications in that they can be designed to strongly absorb light in the near-infrared (NIR) region (650–900 nm).
22 maj 2024 · In recent years, PTT has emerged as a prominent modality in cancer therapy, with nanomaterial-based photoimmunotherapy presenting distinct advantages. This approach facilitates the release of tumor-associated and tumor-specific antigens, thereby promoting synergistic immunotherapeutic responses.
24 lip 2017 · To overcome the severe resistance of pancreatic cancer to conventional therapies, we synthesized gold nanoshell-coated rod-like mesoporous silica (GNRS) nanoparticles which integrated cascade tumor targeting (mediated by photothermal effect and molecular receptor binding) and photothermal treatment-enhanced gemcitabine chemotherapy, under mild ...
5 maj 2022 · In this review, we will summarize the optical properties of gold nanorods and their applications in photothermal therapy. We will also discuss the recent strategies to improve gold nanorod-assisted photothermal therapy through combination with chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
27 lip 2018 · Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are promising cancer treatments in which the heat generation of nanoparticles and the activation of photosensitizer (PS) drugs occurs in response to exogenously applied specific wavelengths of light.
Nanoshell-assisted photothermal therapy has demonstrated effectiveness against a variety of tumors in preclinical studies, with 80–100% survival in murine models of colon carcinoma [ 14, 15] and in vitro successes against breast [ 30 ], prostate [ 23 ], and brain [ 16] tumor cell lines.
