Abstract Advances in nanotechnology have contributed to the development of novel nanoparticles that enable tumor‐specific delivery imaging probes and therapeutic agents cancer therapy. Nanobiotechnology combines with molecular imaging, which has led generation new multifunctional for Multifunctional hold great promise future treatment because they can detect early onset each individual patient deliver suitable enhance efficacy. The combination tumor‐targeted therapy an all‐in‐one system...
Nanodiagnosis: A matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) sensitive gold-nanoparticle (AuNP) imaging probe quenches conjugated near-infrared (NIR) dyes with high efficiency and is specifically activated by the target MMPs (see picture, left). With this system, nanomolar amounts of protease can be detected—both in vitro vivo. Experiments disclose an apparent positive contrast MMPs-positive tumor-bearing mice (right).

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes significant economic losses in the global swine industry due to its high genetic diversity different virulence levels, which complicate disease management vaccine development. This study evaluated longitudinal changes immune cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid clinical outcomes across PRRSV strains with varying virulence, using techniques including single-cell transcriptomics. In highly virulent infection, faster...
We report tumor targeting nanoparticles for optical/MR dual imaging based on self-assembled glycol chitosan to be a potential multimodal probe. To develop an probe, biocompatible and water-soluble (Mw = 50 kDa) were chemically modified with 5β-cholanic acid (CA), resulting in amphiphilic chitosan-5β-cholanic conjugates (GC-CA). For optical near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dye, Cy5.5, was conjugated GC-CA Cy5-labeled (Cy5.5-GC-CA). Moreover, order chelate gadolinium (Gd(III)) the Cy5.5-GC-CA...
We report here a new protease activatable strategy based on polymer nanoparticle platform. This nanosensor delivers chemically labeled matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-activatable fluorogenic peptides to the specific MMPs of interest in vivo. Intravenous administration an MMP-positive SCC-7 xenograft tumor and colon cancer mouse model verified enzyme specificity The design platform is flexible can be fine-tuned for wide array applications such as detection biomarkers, early diagnosis disease,...
Lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, a key feature of foam cells, constitutes an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in atherosclerosis. However, despite advances cellular imaging techniques, current noninvasive and quantitative methods have limited application living cells. Here, using optical diffraction tomography (ODT), we performed morphological biophysical analysis cells label-free manner. We identified LDs by verifying the specific refractive index correlative comprising ODT...
Various deoxycholic acid (DOCA) bearing heparin (HD) amphiphilic conjugates with different degrees of substitution (DS) DOCA were synthesized using as a hydrophilic segment and hydrophobic segment.
