Plasmonic Nanobubbles: tunable and transient probes for cancer diagnosis, therapy and theranostics

Lukianova-Hleb E., Drezek R., Hafner J., Lapotko D., Rice University, US

We report a tunable theranostic probe that can support the diagnosis, therapy and therapy guidance in one process in individual cancer cells. This probe is a plasmonic nanobubble (PNB), which is not a particle but [...]

Zebrafish as a universal in vivo model for plasmonic nanoparticle medicine

Lukianova-Hleb E., Santiago C., Wagner D., Hafner J., Lapotko D., Rice University, US

In vivo application of plasmonic methods faces serious challenges because standard animal models are not well suited for optical activation and detection of plasmonic effects and for precise control the distribution and interactions of the [...]
