Prostate cancer (PCa) is the 2nd most common cancer worldwide for males, and the 4th most common cancer overall, accounting for 15% of all male cancers in 2012. PCa is asymptomatic in its early stages, advances in medical imaging are improving diagno...

Eling, C. J., Price, T. W., Marshall, A. R. L., Narda Viscomi, F., Robinson, P., Firth, G., Adawi, A. M., Bouillard, J.-S. G., & Stasiuk, G. J. (2017). Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging. ChemPlusChem, 82(5), 674-680. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201600593

A novel SERS/fluorescent multimodal imaging probe for mitochondria has been synthesised using 12 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNP) surface functionalised with a rhodamine thiol derivative ligand. The normal pH dependant acidic fluorescence of the... Read More about Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging.
