		<title>Drug-resistant cancer cells cannot resist plasmonic nanobubbles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nanoparticles targeted to cancer cells by antibodies cannot achieve enough specificity to kill drug-resistant cancer cells while sparing normal cells, but can achieve enough specificity to produce nanobubbles only in cancer cells, so the drug only enters cancer cells.]]></description>

		<title>Gold nanostars shuttled to cancer cell nucleus to release drug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gold nanostars targeted to a protein over-expressed in most cancer cells are shuttled by that protein directly to the cancer cell nucleus where illumination with a laser light releases a drug that deforms the nucleus and kills the cell.]]></description>
