a b s t r a c t
Inspired by the ability of SERS nanoantennas to provide an integrated platform to enhance disease targeting in vivo, we developed a highly sensitive probe for in vivo tumour recognition with the capacity to target specific cancer biomarkers such as epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) on human cancer cells and xenograft tumour models. Here, we used ~ 90 nm gold nanoparticles capped by a Raman reporter, encapsulated and entrapped by larger polymers and a FDA antibody–drug conjugate – Cetuximab (Erbitux®) – that specifically targets EGFR and turns off a main signalling cascade for cancer cells to proliferate and survive. These drug/
SERS gold nanoantennas present a high Raman signal both in cancer cells and in mice bearing xenograft tumours.
Moreover, the Raman detection signal is accomplished simultaneously by extensive tumour

    Cancer known in medicine as a malignant neoplasm is one of the biggest killers worldwide. In 2007, cancer caused roughly 13% (7.9 million) of the planet’s deaths (Jemal, 2011). This will more greatly affect an aging society such as ours in years to come, and yet it is already the foremost cause of death in the developed world. The main reason cancer causes so many fatalities the body’s inability to mount an effective response to the failure of DNA replication within the body. This results in a mass of uncontrolled tissue proliferation which eventually leads to death. Approximately, 50% of all people who get cancer will eventually succumb to the disease (Jemal, 2011). It is therefore essential that new methods for controlling the disease are found to improve the prognosis of suffers.…

    With this new technology, you would be able to cure cancer safely and quickly. The Nano bots would be more precise than chemotherapy. Doctors would only need to use three main steps to cure the cancer. First determine the cancer cell’s characteristics. Then program the Nano bots to attack that type of cancer. Finally inject the Nano bots in the patient’s bloodstream to seek and destroy the cancer cells. In the future, I believe that cancer would no longer be a life threatening disease and would be as easy to cure as a common…

    Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society, exceeded only by heart disease. Thirty years ago, half of the Americans diagnosed with cancer died from the disease within five years. Today, the five-year survival rate is up to 65 percent, credited to advances in diagnosing cancers at an earlier stage and the development of more effective…

    Nanotechnology is a newly studied technology that deals with the manipulation of matter at a scale from 1-100 nanometers, which is unimaginably small. Studies that cover this field of science show that this new technology had the capability of repairing defects and diseases in the body, such as, Malaria, HIV, numerous cancers, and many more. Nanotechnology also has the capability to make transporting blood and disease samples for testing way easier than it ever has been in the past. Making it possible for this to be one of the biggest inventions in medicine to date.…

    A lot has changed in the past four decades. The disease doctors thought they knew then is very different from the cancer they are studying today. Scientists have a much better understanding that cancer is not simply one disease in which cells suddenly start to grow out of control, but rather hundreds of different diseases. In fact, according to the American Association for cancer research (AACR) cancer is more like 200 distinct diseases, each spurred on by slightly different causes and requiring different treatments (Park, 2011, para 2). New technology is being used to get an image and an identification on cancerous cells. This then helps scientists better understand this group of diseases. Robust techniques, such as RNA interference, help…

    First of all, gold is used to bind drugs, and deliver them. Gold nanoparticles are non-toxic which allows for them to be safely ingested. You can bind drugs, or treatments for cancer onto these gold nanoparticles that you would ingest. This would help because you could specifically target certain areas of the body. Due to gold’s physical properties the nanoparticles would…

    Nanotechnology, the science of the extremely tiny as commonly known (one nanometer is one-billionth of metre), is an important emerging industry which is thought to reach a market of one trillion US dollars by 2015. It involves the understanding and control of atoms and molecules to create new materials with a variety of useful functions. It is the understanding and control of matter at the sphere of 1 to 100 nanometers (a sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick). Nanotechnology is a technology executed on the scale of less than 100 nanometers, the goal of which is to control individual atoms and molecules, especially to create microscopic devices and other microscopic things (example: Computer chips). It is a natural result of scientific development, our ability to understand and manipulate matter at smaller and smaller levels. Just as computers have gone from bulky, room filling machines to tiny laptops and palmtops. Nanomaterials are now used in a variety of products, including sporting goods, cosmetics and electronics. The fact that unusual physical, chemical, and biological properties can emerge in materials at the nanoscale makes them particularly appealing for medicine. Scientists hope nanoparticles will be able to improve the effect of drugs and gene therapy by carrying them to the right place in the body and by targeting specific tissues, regulating the release of drugs and reducing damage to healthy tissues. They also envision the possibility of implantable nano devices that would detect disease, treat it and report to the doctor automatically from inside the body. Let us look at the uses of nanotechnology more closely.…
