The disclosure is directed to enabling reversible, on-demand remote control of blood clotting and clot dissolution. In one embodiment, a laser at one wavelength triggers release of a DNA thrombin inhibitor from one nanorod, which acts as an anticoagulant to stop blood clotting. Another wavelength triggers release of a specific antidote, which reverses the effect of the thrombin inhibitor, restoring blood clotting. |
