2. Gold nanoparticles in chemotherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_nanoparticles_in...

   In photothermal cancer therapy, many gold nanoparticle molecules are used in each test and they must all be uniform in size. Including PEG coating, the nanoparticles measured to be ~130 nm in diameter. [1] Gold nanoparticles that act as drug delivery systems in conjugation with chemotherapeutic drugs typically range in size from 10 to 100 nm. [2]

3. Colloidal gold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloidal_gold

   The size difference causes the difference in colors. Colloidal gold is a sol or colloidal suspension of nanoparticles of gold in a fluid, usually water. [ 1 ] The colloid is coloured usually either wine red (for spherical particles less than 100 nm) or blue-purple (for larger spherical particles or nanorods). [ 2 ]

4. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_Photodynamic...

   Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), also referred to as photodynamic inactivation (PDI), photodisinfection (PD), or photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT), is a photochemical antimicrobial method that has been studied for over a century. [1] Supported by in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies, aPDT offers a treatment option for ...

5. Photothermal therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photothermal_Therapy

   Photothermal therapy (PTT) refers to efforts to use electromagnetic radiation (most often in infrared wavelengths) for the treatment of various medical conditions, including cancer. This approach is an extension of photodynamic therapy, in which a photosensitizer is excited with specific band light. This activation brings the sensitizer to an ...

6. Nanoparticle drug delivery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle_drug_delivery

   Nanoparticle drug delivery systems are engineered technologies that use nanoparticles for the targeted delivery and controlled release of therapeutic agents. The modern form of a drug delivery system should minimize side-effects and reduce both dosage and dosage frequency. Recently, nanoparticles have aroused attention due to their potential ...

7. Nanomaterials and cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials_and_cancer

   Photothermal therapy: Certain nanoparticles, like gold nanoparticles or carbon nanotubes, can absorb light and convert it into heat. This property is harnessed for photothermal therapy, where these particles are targeted to cancer cells and then heated with laser light, causing localized cell damage and cell death. [3]
