MUC1-Targeted Cancer Cell Photothermal Ablation Using Bioinspired Gold Nanorods.
Recent studies have highlighted the overexpression of mucin 1 (MUC1) in various epithelial carcinomas and its role in tumorigenesis. These mucins present a novel targeting opportunity for nanoparticle-mediated photothermal cancer treatments due to their unique antenna-like extracellular extension. I...
