Sentences with phrase «plasmonic nanobubbles»

The mechanism of rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles significantly improves the selectivity of bubble generation in specific target cancer cells compared to non-specific stromal (non-cancer) cells and can therefore provide the cell level selectivity needed for diagnosis and therapy.

The tunable physical and biological effects of selective targeting and activation of plasmonic nanobubbles (PNB) were studied in a heterogeneous biological microenvironment of prostate cancer and stromal cells.

This mechanism works through the selective formation of NP clusters (tightly aggregated groups of 5 - 50 NPs) in specifically targeted cells and the cluster size - dependent mechanism of optical activation of such NP clusters through the generation of plasmonic nanobubbles (PNBs)[35 - 38].

The developed mechanism was termed «rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles.»

Lukianova - Hleb E, Hanna E, Hafner J, Lapotko D. Tunable plasmonic nanobubbles for cell theranostics.

We conclude that the suggested method of cell theranostics with «rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles» demonstrates the following advantages over other methods of photothermal excitation of plasmonic NPs and PNBs:

The in vivo performance of plasmonic nanobubbles as cell theranostic agents in zebrafish hosting prostate cancer xenografts.
