Polysaccharide-Modified Gold Nanorod and Polydopamine Nanocarriers for Near-Infrared Light-Responsive Biomedical Applications: A Comparative Review

Near-infrared (NIR)-responsive nanocarriers offer spatially and temporally controlled heating, drug release, and imaging for biomedical applications. Gold nanorods (AuNRs) and polydopamine (PDA) are two widely investigated platforms with complementary properties: AuNRs provide sp...
