Upconverting NIR Photons for Bioimaging
Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) possess uniqueanti-Stokes optical properties, in which low energy near-infrared (NIR) photons can beconverted into high energy UV, visible, shorter NIR emission via multiphoton upconversionprocesses. Due to the rapid development of synthesis chemistry, lanthanide-doped UCNPscan be fabricated with narrow distribution and tunable multi-color opt...
متن کاملUpconverting and NIR emitting rare earth based nanostructures for NIR-bioimaging.
In recent years, significant progress was achieved in the field of nanomedicine and bioimaging, but the development of new biomarkers for reliable detection of diseases at an early stage, molecular imaging, targeting and therapy remains crucial. The disadvantages of commonly used organic dyes include photobleaching, autofluorescence, phototoxicity and scattering when UV (ultraviolet) or visible...
متن کاملNIR-triggered anticancer drug delivery by upconverting nanoparticles with integrated azobenzene-modified mesoporous silica.
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world, and chemotherapy remains to be one of the most frequent treatments for many cancers. However, its success has been greatly limited because of systemic toxicity due to the toxic effects by the nonspecific distribution of anti-cancer drugs. The drug delivery systems with the features of sustained drug release have attracted much atten...
متن کاملNIR-Sensitive Au-Au2S Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery
The invasive nature and adverse side effects of surgery and chemotherapy have limited the efficacy of cancer treatment. Our laboratory has incorporated tissue penetrating near infrared (NIR) light and NIR-sensitive nanoparticles to develop a minimally invasive drug delivery system. NIR-activated release of an anticancer drug from NIR-sensitive nanoparticles could potentially reduce deleterious ...
متن کاملNIR dyes for bioimaging applications.
Fluorescent dyes based on small organic molecules that function in the near infrared (NIR) region are of great current interest in chemical biology. They allow for imaging with minimal autofluorescence from biological samples, reduced light scattering, and high tissue penetration. Herein, examples of ongoing NIR fluorophore design strategies as well as their properties and anticipated applicati...
