A Plasmonic Gold Nanostar Theranostic Probe for In Vivo Tumor Imaging and Photothermal Therapy.
(Theranostics, 2015)Nanomedicine has attracted increasing attention in recent years, because it offers great promise to provide personalized diagnostics and therapy with improved treatment efficacy and specificity. In this study, we developed ... -
A standardized method to determine the concentration of extracellular vesicles using tunable resistive pulse sensing.
(J Extracell Vesicles, 2016)BACKGROUND: Understanding the pathogenic role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in disease and their potential diagnostic and therapeutic utility is extremely reliant on in-depth quantification, measurement and identification ... -
Assessing the Impacts of Silver Nanoparticles on the Growth, Diversity, and Function of Wastewater Bacteria
(2012)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly being integrated into a wide range of consumer products, such as air filters, washing machines, and textiles, due to their antimicrobial properties [1]. However, despite the ... -
Bioengineering Microporous Annealed Particle Scaffolds to Recruit Neural Progenitor Stem Cells and Promote Angiogenesis in the Stroke Core
(2022)There remains a significant gap in the need for regenerative therapies for stroke compared to what is currently available. An ideal therapy would be one that stimulates the formation of new tissue with the ability to regain ... -
Deposition of Nano-scale Particles in Aqueous Environments --Influence of Particle Size, Surface Coating, and Aggregation State
(2012)This work considers the transport and attachment of nanoscale particles to surfaces and the associated phenomena that dictate particle-surface interactions. A consideration of the deposition of nano-scale particles on surfaces ... -
Drug Delivery and Anti-Vascular Effects of Temperature Sensitive Liposomal Doxorubicin
(2010)Traditionally, the goal of nanoparticle-based chemotherapy has been to decrease normal tissue toxicity by improving drug specificity to tumor. Relying on the EPR effect (Enhanced Permeability and Retention), a host ... -
Gallium plasmonics: deep subwavelength spectroscopic imaging of single and interacting gallium nanoparticles.
(ACS Nano, 2015-02-24)Gallium has recently been demonstrated as a phase-change plasmonic material offering UV tunability, facile synthesis, and a remarkable stability due to its thin, self-terminating native oxide. However, the dense irregular ... -
In vivo small animal micro-CT using nanoparticle contrast agents.
(Front Pharmacol, 2015)Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most valuable modalities for in vivo imaging because it is fast, high-resolution, cost-effective, and non-invasive. Moreover, CT is heavily used not only in the clinic (for both diagnostics ... -
Inner ear delivery: Challenges and opportunities.
(Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2020-02)<h4>Objectives</h4>The treatment of inner ear disorders remains challenging due to anatomic barriers intrinsic to the bony labyrinth. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advances and strategies for overcoming ... -
Novel Nonlinear Microscopy Techniques Based on Femtosecond Laser Pulse Shaping and Their Applications
(2013)Nonlinear optical microscopy serves as a great tool for biomedical imaging due to its high resolution, deep penetration, inherent three dimensional optical sectioning capabilities and superior performance in scattering media. ... -
Rhodium nanoparticles for ultraviolet plasmonics.
(Nano Lett, 2015-02-11)The nonoxidizing catalytic noble metal rhodium is introduced for ultraviolet plasmonics. Planar tripods of 8 nm Rh nanoparticles, synthesized by a modified polyol reduction method, have a calculated local surface plasmon ... -
Transient anomalous diffusion of tracer particles in soft matter
(2009)This paper is motivated by experiments in which time series of tracer particles in viscoelastic liquids are recorded using advanced microscopy. The experiments seek to infer either viscoelastic properties of the sample [Mason ...
