BODIPY-doped silica nanoparticles with reduced dye leakage and enhanced singlet oxygen generation
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising modality for cancer treatment. The essential element in PDT is the photosensitizer, which can be excited by light of a specific wavelength to generate cytotoxic oxygen species (ROS) capable of killing tumor cells. The effectiveness of PDT is limited in part by the low yield of ROS from existing photosensitizers and the unwanted side effects induced by t...
متن کاملDye-doped silica nanoparticles as efficient labels for glycans.
We report that dye-doped fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) are highly efficient labels for glycans. Mono- and oligo-saccharides were conjugated to FSNPs using a general photocoupling chemistry. FSNP-labeled glycans were applied to image and detect bacteria, and to study carbohydrate-lectin interactions on a lectin microarray.
متن کاملSinglet Oxygen Generation by Laser Irradiation of Gold Nanoparticles
The formation of singlet oxygen by irradiation of gold nanoparticles in their plasmon resonance band with continuous or pulsed laser light has been investigated. Citrate-stabilized nanoparticles were found to facilitate the photogeneration of singlet oxygen, albeit with low quantum yield. The reaction caused by pulsed laser irradiation makes use of the equilibrated hot electrons that can reach ...
متن کاملDye - doped nanoparticles for bioanalysis
Understanding biological processes at the molecular level with accurate quantitation needs advanced bioanalysis. In this review, we describe dyedoped silica nanoparticles (NPs), their synthesis, bioconjugation, and applications in different bioanalysis formats. Silica-based nanomaterials have been developed with optical-encoding capabilities for the selective tagging of a wide range of biomedic...
متن کاملDevelopment of highly fluorescent silica nanoparticles chemically doped with organic dye for sensitive DNA microarray detection.
Increasing the sensitivity in DNA microarray hybridization can significantly enhance the capability of microarray technology for a wide range of research and clinical diagnostic applications, especially for those with limited sample biomass. To address this issue, using reverse microemulsion method and surface chemistry, a novel class of homogenous, photostable, highly fluorescent streptavidin-...
