Tunable Protease-Activatable Virus Nanonodes
We explored the unique signal integration properties of the self-assembling 60-mer protein capsid of adeno-associated virus (AAV), a clinically proven human gene therapy vector, by engineering proteolytic regulation of virus-receptor interactions such that processing of the capsid by proteases is required for infection. We find the transfer function of our engineered protease-activatable viruse...
متن کاملDual-stimuli responsive and reversibly activatable theranostic nanoprobe for precision tumor-targeting and fluorescence-guided photothermal therapy
The integrated functions of diagnostics and therapeutics make theranostics great potential for personalized medicine. Stimulus-responsive therapy allows spatial control of therapeutic effect only in the site of interest, and offers promising opportunities for imaging-guided precision therapy. However, the imaging strategies in previous stimulus-responsive therapies are 'always on' or irreversib...
متن کاملA Protease-Activatable Nanoparticle Contrast Agent for Molecular Imaging by Dual Energy Computed Tomography
Jeffrey Ashton1, Cristian Badea2, Jennifer West1 1Duke University, Biomedical Engineering Department 2Duke University Medical Center, Department of Radiology Statement of Purpose: X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most useful imaging tools for modern clinicians. However, molecular imaging with CT is not feasible with existing contrast agents, so clinicians must instead rely on other ...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Hybrid Nanoprobe for Triple-Modality MR/SPECT/Optical Fluorescence Imaging
Hybrid clinical imaging is an emerging technology, which improves disease diagnosis by combining already existing technologies. With the combination of high-resolution morphological imaging, i.e., MRI/CT, and high-sensitive molecular detection offered by SPECT/PET/Optical, physicians can detect disease progression at an early stage and design patient-specific treatments. To fully exploit the po...
