Abstract:
Hydrophobically-modified silica-coated gold nanorods are presented here as multifunctional theranostic agents. A single modification both increases two-photon fluorescence and promotes cavitation-based acoustic signal for imaging. A two-fold greater release of small molecule drugs was observed under ultrasound-mediated conditions as compared to passive release without ultrasound.
