In situ formation of alginic acid‐gold nanohybrids for application in cancer ph...
Figueiredo, André Q.; Rodrigues, Ana Carolina Félix; Fernandes, Natanael; Correia, I.J.; Moreira, André F.Gold-based nanoparticles present excellent optical properties that propelled their widespread application in biomedicine, from bioimaging to photothermal applications. Nevertheless, commonly employed manufacturing methods for gold-based nanoparticles require long periods and laborious protocols that reduce cost-effectiveness and scalability. Herein, a novel methodology was used for producing gold-alginic acid n...
Metal-Polymer Nanoconjugates Application in Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Figueiredo, André Q.; Rodrigues, Ana Carolina Félix; Fernandes, Natanael; Diogo, Duarte de Melo; Correia, I.J.; Moreira, AndréMetallic-based nanoparticles present a unique set of physicochemical properties that support their application in different fields, such as electronics, medical diagnostics, and therapeutics. Particularly, in cancer therapy, the plasmonic resonance, magnetic behavior, X-ray attenuation, and radical oxygen species generation capacity displayed by metallic nanoparticles make them highly promising theragnostic sol...
