Multicomponent, peptide-targeted glycol chitosan nanoparticles containing ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanocubes for bladder cancer multimodal imaging
While current imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography, and positron emission tomography, play an important role in detecting tumors in the body, no single-modality imaging possesses all the functions needed for a complete diagnostic imaging, such as spatial resolution, signal sensitivity, and tissue penetration depth. For this reason, multimodal imaging...
متن کاملMulticomponent, Tumor-Homing Chitosan Nanoparticles for Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Current clinical methods for cancer diagnosis and therapy have limitations, although survival periods are increasing as medical technologies develop. In most cancer cases, patient survival is closely related to cancer stage. Late-stage cancer after metastasis is very challenging to cure because current surgical removal of cancer is not precise enough and significantly affects bystander normal t...
متن کاملTargeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for tumor imaging and therapy
Magnetic iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles with a long blood retention time, biodegradability and low toxicity have emerged as one of the primary nanomaterials for biomedical applications in vitro and in vivo. IO nanoparticles have a large surface area and can be engineered to provide a large number of functional groups for cross-linking to tumor-targeting ligands such as monoclonal antibodies, pep...
متن کاملTargeted MRI for Breast Cancer using Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilizes a powerful magnetic field to align the nuclear magnetization of hydrogen atoms in water in the body without the use of ionizing radiation. Iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles are the only FDA approved nanoparticles used as a MRI contrast agent. Paramagnetic IO nanoparticles can induce remarkably strong magnetic resonance imaging contrast and have a large surf...
متن کاملDevelopment of peptide conjugated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (SPIO) Nanoparticles for Targeted MR Imaging and Therapy of Pancreatic Cancer
Development of multifunctional nanoparticles that selectively target to human tumors for in vivo tumor imaging as well as inhibition of tumor growth holds a great promise for improving survival rate of cancer patients. In this study, we have engineered peptide conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles targeting to urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) or a single ch...
