The protein corona formed on the surface of a nanoparticle in biological medium determines its behavior vivo. Herein, iron oxide nanoparticles containing same core and shell, but bearing two different coatings, either glucose or poly(ethylene glycol), were evaluated. nanoparticles' adsorption, vitro degradation, vivo biodistribution biotransformation over four months investigated. Although both types bound similar amounts proteins vitro, differences composition correlated to Interestingly,...
Accessing 1,2,3-triazole compounds through the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne "click" cycloaddition reaction is now a routine synthetic tool which has resulted in huge amount of novel molecules varied complexity bearing such heterocycles. 3-N-Alkyl-1,2,3-triazolium salts constitute an example "post-click" chemistry arising from pool. This Focus review outlines emerging fields application for triazolium cations, including their use as functional ionic liquids, precursors mesoionic carbenes, or...
Detection of tumor metastases in the lymphatic system is essential for accurate staging malignancies. Commercially available superparagmagnetic nanoparticles (SPIOs) accumulate normal lymph tissue after injection at a site, whereas less or no accumulation takes place metastatic nodes, thus enabling using MRI. We verify first time potential SPIOs, such as Endorem® novel photoacoustic (PA) contrast agent biological tissue. injected five Wistar rats subcutaneously with variable amounts and...
Magnetic hyperthermia is a cancer treatment based on the exposure of magnetic nanoparticles to an alternating field in order generate local heat. In this work, 3D cell culture models were prepared observe effect that different number internalized particles had mechanisms death triggered upon treatment. Macrophages selected by their high capacity uptake nanoparticles. Intracellular nanoparticle concentrations up 7.5 pg Fe/cell measured both elemental analysis and characterization techniques....
Magnetic hyperthermia (MH) was used to treat a murine model of pancreatic cancer. This type cancer is generally characterized by the presence dense stroma that acts as barrier for chemotherapeutic treatments. Several alternating magnetic field (AMF) conditions were evaluated using three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models loaded with nanoparticles (MNPs) determine which producing strong effect on viability. Once optimal AMF selected, in vivo experiments carried out similar frequency and...
As few as 23 enzyme molecules could be detected on the basis of dispersion Au nanoparticles in a model bioassay whose sensitivity was boosted by interplay between multivalent and monovalent supramolecular interactions: diferrocenyl ligand (red) caused assembly nanoparticle clusters; upon its oxidation, competing guest molecule (blue) favored formation interactions for more efficient disassembly. Nanoparticles are becoming extremely useful building blocks fabrication ultrasensitive optical1...
Magnetic hyperthermia is a promising therapy for the localized treatment of cancer based on exposure magnetic nanoparticles to an external alternating field. In order evaluate some mechanisms involved in cellular damage caused by this treatment, two different 3D cell culture models were prepared using collagen, which most abundant protein extracellular matrix. The same amount was added cells either before or after their incorporation into structure. Therefore, one model, particles located...
This study describes that the current rectification ratio, R ≡ |J|(−2.0 V)/|J|(+2.0 V) for supramolecular tunneling junctions with a top-electrode of eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) contains conductive thin (0.7 nm) supporting outer oxide layer (Ga2O3), increases by up to four orders magnitude under an applied bias >+1.0 V +2.5 V; these did not change their electrical characteristics when biased in voltage range ±1.0 V. The increase is caused presence water and ions assemblies which react...
Unsymmetrically 1,1′-disubstituted 4,4′-bis-1H-1,2,3-triazoles 4 have been prepared from 4-ethynyl-1,2,3-triazoles 5 and azides. Following a "double-click" strategy, two complementary approaches were implemented for the preparation of key 4-ethynyltriazole intermediates 5: (a) stepwise Swern oxidation/Ohira−Bestman alkynylation readily available 4-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3-triazoles 8 (b) cycloaddition TMS-1,4-butadiyne 9.

Lipids are a major source of energy for most tissues, and lipid uptake storage is therefore crucial homeostasis. So far, quantification in vivo has primarily relied on radioactive isotope labeling, exposing human subjects or experimental animals to ionizing radiation. Here, we describe the chylomicrons, primary carriers dietary lipids, metabolically active tissues using magnetic particle imaging (MPI) spectroscopy (MPS). We show that loading artificial chylomicrons (ACM) with iron oxide...
