Surface chemistry for cytosolic gene delivery and photothermal transgene expression by gold nanorods

Abstract Light-inducible gene regulation has great potential for remote and noninvasive control of the fate and function of target cells. One method to achieve such control is delivery of heat shock protein (HSP) promoter-driven protein expression vectors and photothermal heaters into the cells, fol...
