Hollow iron-silica nanoshells for enhanced high intensity focused ultrasound.
BACKGROUND High intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an alterative ablative technique currently being investigated for local treatment of breast cancer and fibroadenomas. Current HIFU therapies require concurrent magnetic resonance imaging monitoring. Biodegradable 500 nm perfluoropentane-filled iron-silica nanoshells have been synthesized as a sensitizing agent for HIFU therapies, which aid ...
متن کاملEphrinAl-targeted nanoshells for photothermal ablation of prostate cancer cells
Gold-coated silica nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles that can be designed to possess strong absorption of light in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength region. When injected intravenously, these nanoshells have been shown to accumulate in tumors and subsequently mediate photothermal treatment, leading to tumor regression. In this work, we sought to improve their specificity by targeting the...
متن کاملPlants as useful agents for angiogenesis and tumor growth prevention
Introduction: Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, has important physiological roles in embryonic development, female reproduction cycle, and wound healing. It is also crucial for pathological processes in several diseases especially tumor growth and metastasis. Thereby, inhibition of angiogenesis as an addition to the conventional therapies such...
متن کاملCarbon onions within silica nanoshells
Carbon onions have been known since Iijima first observed them in 1980 [1]. In 1992 Ugarte et al. made carbon onions by irradiating carbon soot by an intense electron beam in a transmission electron microscope [2]. There are reports in the literature on the production of carbon structures in water medium by generating an electric arc to create high temperatures [3,4]. It was found that several ...
متن کاملEnzyme responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles for targeted tumor therapy in vitro and in vivo.
This study reports a biocompatible controlled drug release system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for tumor microenvironment responsive drug delivery. It was fabricated by grafting phenylboronic acid conjugated human serum albumin (PBA-HSA) onto the surfaces of MSNs as a sealing agent, via an intermediate linker of a functional polypeptide, which was composed of two functional u...
