   Gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles in chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the use of colloidal gold in therapeutic treatments, often for cancer or arthritis. Gold nanoparticle technology shows promise in the advancement of cancer treatments. Some of the properties that gold nanoparticles possess, such as small size, non-toxicity and non ...

3. Experimental cancer treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_cancer_treatment

   Similar results have also been achieved with other types of nanoparticles, including gold-coated nanoshells and nanorods that exhibit certain degrees of 'tunability' of the absorption properties of the nanoparticles to the wavelength of light for irradiation. The success of this approach to cancer treatment rests on the existence of an 'optical ...

4. Polyvalent DNA gold nanoparticles - Wikipedia

   Gold nanoparticles can be purchased or synthesized via a variety of methods. [12] Several strategies exist for functionalizing gold nanoparticles with single-stranded DNA; one of the most commonly utilized strategies involves introducing thiol-terminated DNA to a solution of gold nanoparticles and gradually increasing the concentration of a salt, like NaCl.

5. 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 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomedicine

   Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. [ 1 ] Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the ...

7. Targeted drug delivery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_drug_delivery

   Targeted drug delivery, sometimes called smart drug delivery, [1] is a method of delivering medication to a patient in a manner that increases the concentration of the medication in some parts of the body relative to others. This means of delivery is largely founded on nanomedicine, which plans to employ nanoparticle -mediated drug delivery in ...
