Two major challenges of current photodynamic therapy (PDT) are the limited tissue penetration excitation light and poor tumor-selectivity photosensitizer (PS). To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional nanoconstruct consisting upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that transform near-infrared (NIR) to visible zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc). Folate-modified amphiphilic chitosan (FASOC) was coated on surface UCNPs anchor ZnPc close UCNPs, thereby facilitating resonance energy...

The molecular basis for aging of the kidney is not well understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to processes such as development, differentiation, and apoptosis, but their contribution process unknown. Here, we analyzed miRNA expression profile young (3-month) old (24-month) rat kidneys identified biologic pathways genes regulated by differentially expressed miRNAs. We observed upregulation 18 miRNAs with aging, mainly regulating associated energy metabolism, cell proliferation,...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has recently been proposed as an innovative approach to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. To improve the penetration depth of current PDT, a core–shell upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) based PDT system, composed cationic N-octyl chitosan (OC) coated UCNP loaded with photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine (OC-UCNP-ZnPc), was constructed enhance antibacterial efficacy against MDR bacteria in deep tissue. The UCNPs displayed higher fluorescence efficiency...
