Tuning the Drug Loading and Release of DNA-Assembled Gold-Nanorod Superstructures.

Adv Mater

Department of Material Science and Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, M5S 3E1, Canada.

Published: October 2016

The use of DNA to assemble inorganic nanoparticles into superstructures is an emerging strategy to build non-toxic delivery vehicles for targeting diseases in the body. The impact of the core-satellite nanosystem design in mediating drug storage, drug release (via heat), and killing of HeLa cells in culture is investigated.
