Small Gold Nanorods: Recent Advances in Synthesis, Biological Imaging, and Cancer Therapy

Over the past few decades, the synthetic development of ultra-small nanoparticles has become an important strategy in nano-medicine, where smaller-sized nanoparticles are known to be more easily excreted from the body, greatly reducing the risk caused by introducing nano-theranostic agents. Gold nan...
