Gold Nanoshell Cancer Therapy (2005)

Anyone know what happened to research on this? It seemed like a reasonable approach to treating some types of cancer like subcutaneous tumors and brain tumors. There&#x27;s a wikipedia article[1] where the last reference is from 2011 and things were looking good at that point.<p>IIRC brain tumors can be really tricky to treat and this method showed some promise. The testing on mice was working well back around 2010 and I figured it would be further along by now.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nanoshell" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nanoshell</a>

Haha, wrong video sorry!<p>NOVA used to have a neat video about it so I just linked to the first thing after searching for nanoshells. Here&#x27;s an article about it at least:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;wgbh&#x2F;nova&#x2F;body&#x2F;halas-nanoshell.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pbs.org&#x2F;wgbh&#x2F;nova&#x2F;body&#x2F;halas-nanoshell.html</a>
