Breakthrough In Loading Gold Nanorods Into Cells Could Lead To New Cancer Treatment

[News]

Rice University chemists have found a way to load more than 2 million tiny gold particles called nanorods into a single cancer cell. The breakthrough could speed development of cancer treatments that would use nanorods like tiny heating elements to cook tumors from the inside. The research appears online this week in the chemical journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition...
