Protease-activated nanoshell therapy

This thesis describes the development of photothermal nanoshell therapy activated by proteases. Hirsch et al. previously showed that the optical spectrum of crosslinked nanoshells within the UV-visible range reveals a broader, red-shifted, and lower peak absorbance as compared to disperse nanoshells...
