摘要:
Described herein are gold particles that can be used to reduce tumor proliferation and treat cancer. In certain aspects, the gold particles can be modified in order to enhance selectivity and uptake of the particles by cancer cells. In certain aspects, the modified gold particles have a targeting group attached to the particle via a linker. The gold particles described herein can be used in combination with other anti-cancer agents in order to enhance overall cancer treatment. Methods for making and using the gold particles are also described herein.
