Upconversion Nanoparticles: A Versatile Solution to Multiscale Biological Imaging
Lanthanide-doped photon upconverting nanomaterials are emerging as a new class of imaging contrast agents, providing numerous unprecedented possibilities in the realm of biomedical imaging. Because of their ability to convert long-wavelength near-infrared excitation radiation into shorter-wavelength emissions, these nanomaterials are able to produce assets of low imaging background, large anti-...
متن کاملSecretory microRNAs as a versatile communication tool.
The physiological role of microRNAs (miRNAs) is widely appreciated as a fine-tuner to post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of multiple genes in the cells of origin. Here, we highlight two significant characteristics of miRNAs: (1) they are secreted from the producing cells and (2) they can deliver the gene silencing signals between living cells in vitro and in vivo. The circulation of...
متن کاملNanobodies as Versatile Tools to Understand, Diagnose, Visualize and Treat Cancer
Since their discovery, nanobodies have been used extensively in the fields of research, diagnostics and therapy. These antigen binding fragments, originating from Camelid heavy-chain antibodies, possess unusual hallmarks in terms of (small) size, stability, solubility and specificity, hence allowing cost-effective production and sometimes outperforming monoclonal antibodies. In this review, we ...
متن کاملNanogels as imaging agents for modalities spanning the electromagnetic spectrum
In the past few decades, advances in imaging equipment and protocols have expanded the role of imaging in in vivo diagnosis and disease management, especially in cancer. Traditional imaging agents have rapid clearance and low specificity for disease detection. To improve accuracy in disease identification, localization and assessment, novel nanomaterials are frequently explored as imaging agent...
متن کاملHepatobiliary imaging: imaging modalities.
Imaging modalities are a major part of the diagnosis and follow-up to therapy of hepatobiliary disease. Changes of the liver, spleen, gallbladder and pancreas can be assessed by a variety of highly technical and evolving methods. The purpose of this paper is to review briefly some diseases of the hepatobiliary tree and pancreas and how they may be diagnosed through imaging modalities. Hepatic d...
