Drug delivery monitoring by photoacoustic tomography with an ICG encapsulated double emulsion
The absorption spectrum of indocyanine green (ICG), a nontoxic dye used for medical diagnostics, depends upon its concentration as well as the nature of its environment, i.e., the solvent medium into which it is dissolved. In blood, ICG binds with plasma proteins, thus causing changes in its photoacoustic spectrum. We successfully encapsulated ICG in an ultrasound-triggerable perfluorocarbon do...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic Drug Delivery
Photoacoustic (PA) technology holds great potential in clinical translation as a new non-invasive bioimaging modality. In contrast to conventional optical imaging, PA imaging (PAI) enables higher resolution imaging with deeper imaging depth. Besides applications for diagnosis, PA has also been extended to theranostic applications. The guidance of PAI facilitates remotely controlled drug deliver...
متن کاملAn encapsulated drug delivery system for recalcitrant urinary tract infection.
One of the hallmarks of urinary tract infection, a serious global disease, is its tendency to recur. Uropathogenic bacteria can invade cells lining the bladder, where they form longer-term intracellular reservoirs shielded from antibiotics, re-emerging at a later date to initiate flare-ups. In these cases, only lengthy systemic antibiotic treatment can eradicate all the reservoirs. Yet, long co...
متن کاملOpportunities for Photoacoustic-Guided Drug Delivery.
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is rapidly becoming established as a viable imaging modality for small animal research, with promise of near-future human clinical translation. In this review, we discuss emerging prospects for photoacoustic-guided drug delivery. PAI presents opportunities for applications related to drug delivery, mainly with respect to either monitoring drug effects or monitoring d...
متن کاملPeptide Encapsulated Nanoparticles for Brain Drug Delivery
BBB is acting as a highly selective membrane that separates the circulating blood from brain fluid [1]. This barrier is formed by endothelial cells which are connected to each other at “tight” junctions that create a complete seal between them. Consequently, only lipophilic molecules are able to cross the barrier. Hydrophilic substances, in contrast, are unable to cross the lipid walls unless a...
