随着纳米技术的发展，许多具有独特性能的新型纳米材料，如磁性、电子学、光子学等被越来越多地开发出来。金纳米棒是一种棒状纳米材料，在生物/生物医学领域，特别是光热治疗、生物传感、成像和基因治疗癌症等领域显示出巨大的潜力。许多科学团体对金纳米棒表现出了浓厚的兴趣，并试图将其推向可能的临床应用。然而，由于纳米材料的量子尺寸效应，人们也对其潜在的毒性危害提出了一些担忧。因此，研究和开发金纳米棒的生物效应在不久的将来变得非常紧迫。
With the development of nanotechnology, many novel nanomaterials with unique properties such as magnetic, electronics, and photonics are increasingly being exploited. Gold nanorods, which are rod-shaped nanomaterials, show powerful potential in biological/biomedical fields, especially photothermal therapy, biosensing, imaging, and gene delivery for the treatment of cancer. Many scientific groups have shown strong interests in gold nanorods and have attempted to push them towards possible clinical applications. However, owing to the quantum-size effects of nanomaterials, people have also raised some concerns about the potential toxicity hazards. Therefore, it is becoming urgent to study and exploit the biological effects of gold nanorods for benefit in the near future.
