Drug Delivery with Light-Activated Gold-Coated Liposomes

Orsinger G.V., Leung S.J., Knights S.S., Williams J.D., Romanowski M., University of Arizona, US

With the ultimate goal of delivering therapeutic compounds selectively to cancerous or diseased tissues and cells, we have presented liposome-based plasmon resonant nanocapsules. The described biocompatible composite delivery vehicle enables encapsulation and selective release of [...]

Optical Trapping of Gold-Coated Liposomes

Leung S.J., Romanowski M., University of Arizona, US

We recently introduced a nanocomposite material, plasmon resonant gold-coated liposomes, to address unmet needs in area of controlled delivery. Plasmon resonant nanocapsules are created via the deposition of gold onto the surface of 100 nm [...]

Spectrally-Selective Light-Induced Release from Gold-Coated Liposomes

Leung S.J., Romanowski M., University of Arizona, US

To address unmet medical needs in the area of controlled delivery, we recently presented liposome-supported plasmon resonant gold nanoshells. These composite structures are degradable into components of a size compatible with renal clearance, potentially enabling [...]
