Rational Design and Synthesis of γFe2O3@Au Magnetic Gold Nanoflowers for Efficient Cancer Theranostics

An γFe2 O3 @Au core/shell-type magnetic gold nanoflower-based theranostic nano-platform is developed. It is integrated with ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering imaging, high-resolution photo-acoustics imaging, real-time magnetic resonance imaging, and photothermal therapy capabilities.
