The development of multifunctional nanocomplexs for drug delivery in oral cancer therapy
The development of multifunctional nanocomplexs for drug delivery in oral cancer therapy Oral cancer has been denoted as the sixth most common cancer in the world. Chemotherapy is one of the major therapies for advanced [...]
Estimation of the Energetic Barrier to Pore Formation and the Pore Radius Corresponding to this Barrier for Different Cell Lines
The permeability of the cell membrane can be modified by exposing of cells to high-voltage electric pulses leading to the formation of nanometer-sized pores in the cell membrane (electroporation or nanoporation). This phenomenon is widely [...]
Dependence of the Energy of Electric Pulse Required to Electroporate the Cell on the Pulse Duration for Pulses from 50 ns to 500 ms
To successfully implement the technology of food processing with pulsed electric fields (PEF), it is important to know what particular electric treatment (pulse duration, field strength, etc.) would require the minimum energy. Here, theoretical relationships [...]
Gold Nanoshells With Micellar Core for The Delivery of Hydrophobic Chemotherapeutic and Cancer Photothermal Therapy
Gold nanoshells have attracted great research interest because of its potential application in cancer photothermal therapy. In the present study, we established a multifunctional gold nanoshell that directly utilizing positively charged PDMA-b-PCL micelles as a [...]
Plasmonic Nanocages as Photothermal Transducers for Nanobubble Cancer Therapy
The ability to generate and control thermal energy with nanoscale resolution is finding increasing use in a variety of applications spanning the fields of nanoparticle synthesis, nanofabrication, bio-imaging and medical therapy [1, 2]. One of [...]

A plasma electrochemistry reactor for the synthesis of radioactive gold nanoparticles
Abstract: Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are increasingly considered for use as radioactive sources (198Au) for prostate brachytherapy procedures [1]-[2]. The range of the 198Au β-particle (0.96 MeV, ~ 11 mm in soft tissue, ~ 1100 [...]
Acne Treatment based on Selective Photothermolysis of Sebaceous Follicles with Topically Delivered Gold Plasmonic Particles
A laser treatment for acne, one of the most common dermatologic conditions, with 150 nm diameter plasmonic resonant particles tuned to absorb near infrared light has been developed. Acne lesions originate from sebaceous follicles; the [...]
