Therapeutic Enhancement with Nuclear Targeted Gold Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles have been used as a platform to improve therapeutic results in medical research. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been extensively studied among other nanoparticles in cancer research due to its property being radio-sensitizing by producing more secondary electrons in response to irradiation. It is predicted that closer the GNPs can get to the DNA, the extra secondary electrons will cause more breaks in the DNA. However, the regular...
