Remarkable progress has recently been made in the synthesis and characterization of engineered nanoparticles for imaging treatment cancers, resulting several promising candidates clinical trials. Despite these advances, applications nanoparticle-based therapeutic/imaging agents remain limited by biological, immunological, translational barriers. In order to overcome existing status quo drug delivery, there is a need open frank discussion nanomedicine community on what needed make qualitative...
Fe nanoparticles prepared by iron carbonyl decomposition using different methods are compared structurally, chemically, and magnetically. The specific magnetization of the particles was determined from magnetic moment, particle size observed transmission electron microscopy, total concentration found calibrated X-ray fluorescence. volume fraction oxide is reported for sizes made slightly techniques.
We describe the magnetic properties of gold-coated iron nanoparticles, and effects low pH heat treatment. Acicular spherical based nanoparticles were coated with a thin layer gold. The morphology particles examined using transmission electron microscopy alternative gradient magnetometry. While small had relatively uniform layers coatings, larger acicular many gold clusters decorating surface. original specific moment 145 emu/g coercivity 1664 Oe. Corrosion tests showed good corrosion...
The colloidal stability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) cap-exchanged with either monothiol- or dithiolane-terminated PEG-OCH3 ligands was investigated. Three distinct aspects were explored: (1) effects excess salt concentration; (2) ligation competition by dithiothreitol (DTT); and (3) resistance to sodium cyanide digestion. We found that overall presenting higher coordination numbers (dithiolane) exhibit much better added against from DTT compared their monodentate counterparts. Resistance...

Multicolor fluorescent labeling of both intra- and extracellular structures is a powerful technique for simultaneous monitoring multiple complex biochemical processes. This approach remains extremely challenging, however, as it often necessitates the combinatorial use numerous targeting probes (e.g., antibodies), multistep bioconjugation chemistries, different delivery strategies electroporation or transfection reagents), cellular fixation coupled with membrane permeabilization, spectral...
We characterized the resonance energy transfer interactions for conjugates consisting of QD donors self-assembled with three distinct fluorescent protein acceptors: two monomeric proteins, dsRed derivative mCherry or yellow and multi-chromophore b-phycoerythrin light harvesting complex. Using steady-state time-resolved fluorescence, we showed that nonradiative excitation in these can be described within Förster dipole-dipole formalism, efficiencies vary degree spectral overlap,...
High-frequency hysteresis measurements were performed on two different types of hydrosols iron oxide particles: fully dispersed and highly clustered. The sol showed superparamagnetic behavior across the frequency range investigated, while clustered sample exhibited significant hysteresis. hysteretic losses then directly related to magnetic hyperthermia in a sinusoidal field amplitude 10 mT at 140 kHz, where heated by up 25degC 1000 s similar concentration no measurable heating.
Water solubilized nanoparticles such as CdSe−ZnS core−shell nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) have great potential in bioimaging and sensing applications due to their excellent photophysical properties. However, the efficient modification of QDs with complex biomolecules represents a significant challenge. Here, we describe straightforward arylhydrazone approach for chemoselective covalent that is compatible neutral pH micromolar concentrations peptide target. The kinetics can be monitored...

Fourth Annual NCI Principal Investigator Meeting was held Manhattan Beach, California October 20−22,...
Simultaneous detection of multiple independent fluorescent signals or signal multiplexing has the potential to significantly improve bioassay throughput and allow visualization concurrent cellular events. Applications based on multiplexing, however, remain hard achieve in practice due difficulties both implementing hardware photophysical liabilities associated with available organic dye protein fluorophores.

The transverse susceptibility (TS) of arrays self-assembled Fe nanoparticles has been studied using a sensitive radio-frequency resonant technique. Symmetrically located broad peaks in the TS data are observed below blocking temperature as applied field is swept from positive to negative saturation. These occur at effective anisotropy fields $(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{H}_{K})$ with peak width determined by distribution ${H}_{K}$ nanoparticle array system. features be strongly affected...

The phase transformation from fcc to L10 in FePt nanoparticles was investigated both thick film samples and self-assembled arrays as a function of the annealing temperature, using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, magnetometry. A significant fraction surfactant decomposes into gaseous products below 500 °C, removing steric barrier between particle cores. This causes particles coalesce at same temperatures where high anisotropy occurs.
