title = "A multimodal gold nanorod-locked nucleic acid approach for probing individual cell gene expressions in living tissues",
abstract = "A multimodal gold nanorod-locked nucleic acid (GNR-LNA) approach is developed for perturbing and monitoring the spatiotemporal gene expression dynamics at the single cell level. We demonstrated (1) LNA-based detection of mRNA expression in single living cells as well as lung and liver tissues, (2) plasmonic GNR-mediated photothermal ablation of mice lung tissues for perturbing gene expression and single cell ablation, and (3) monitoring the spatiotemporal gene expression dynamics of individual cells after photothermal ablation. Experimental results demonstrated the applicability and specificity of GNR-LNA probe for detecting individual cell mRNA expression, providing an effective approach for investigating complex tissue morphogenic and regeneration processes.",
