Cellular imaging of endosome entrapped small gold nanoparticles
Small gold nanoparticles (sAuNPs, <10 nm in a core diameter) have been used for drug delivery and cancer therapy due to their high payload to carrier ratio. Information about the amount and location of sAuNPs in cells and tissues is critical to many applications. However, the current detection method (i.e., transmission electron microscopy) for such sAuNPs is limited due to the extensive sample...
متن کاملApplications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging
Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...

Improved biocompatibility of surface functionalized dendrimer- entrapped gold nanoparticles{
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) have recently received immense scientific and technological interest because of their extensive applications in biology, catalysis, and nanotechnology. In most of these applications, the gold NP surfaces are modified with different functionalities. For instance, alkanethiol and alkylamine molecules are used for phase transfer of gold NPs, and oligonucleotide molecules a...
متن کاملSynthesis of PEGylated low generation dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles for CT imaging applications.
Dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) can be formed using low-generation dendrimers pre-modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG). The formed PEGylated Au DENPs with desirable stability, cytocompatibility, and X-ray attenuation properties enable efficient computed tomography imaging of the heart and tumor model of mice.
