Gold Nanoparticle‐Loaded Neural Stem Cells for Photothermal Ablation of Cancer

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have shown great promise as a novel therapeutic technology for the treatment of cancer due to their non-cytotoxic nature, ease of synthesis and functionalization and, most importantly, their tunable plasmonic properties. [ 1–4 ] This allows AuNPs to be designed such that they cause local heating when exposed to near-infrared (NIR) light. [ 5 ] This is signifi cant because of the wavelengths of light, NIR is least absorbed by blood and water, which allows it to penetrate deeply enough into tissue ( ∼ 4 mm) to be focused on AuNPs for selective photothermal ablation of tumors. [ 6 , 7 ] Current clinical thermal ablation strategies have shown promise for a number of tumor types, particularly liver and kidney cancers, but are limited by the lack of selective heating. The surrounding healthy tissue is heated at the same rate as the tumor making it nearly impossible to destroy tumor margins without causing signifi cant collateral damage. [ 8–13 ] AuNPs with varied morphologies, including nanospheres, nanoshells, nanocages, and nanorods, have been
