Gold nanorods photothermally activate a bioadhesive

Gold nanorods photothermally activate a bioadhesive

Fig. 1. Laser-activated gold nanorods – hyaluronan hydrogels (left) were successfully used to seal surgical incisions in blood vessels (center) in a rabbit model in vivo (Ratto F et al 2011) with excellent regeneration in thirty days after surgery (right, ~1 µm2 TEM micrograph; note the collagen fibrils and gold nanoparticles).   The figure reproduced by permission.
