Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles as Photoacoustic Molecular Imaging Probes in Living Mice
Photoacoustic imaging holds great promise for the visualization of physiology and pathology at the molecular level with deep tissue penetration and fine spatial resolution. To fully utilize this potential, photoacoustic molecular imaging probes have to be developed. Here, we introduce near-infrared light absorbing semiconducting polymer nanoparticles as a new class of contrast agents for photoa...
متن کاملReaction-Based Semiconducting Polymer Nanoprobes for Photoacoustic Imaging of Protein Sulfenic Acids.
Protein sulfenic acids play a key role in oxidative signal transduction of many biological and pathological processes; however, current chemical tools rely on visible fluorescence signals, limiting their utility to in vitro assays. We herein report reaction-based semiconducting polymer nanoprobes (rSPNs) with near-infrared absorption for in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging of protein sulfenic ac...
متن کاملHigh-intensity near-IR fluorescence in semiconducting polymer dots achieved by cascade FRET strategy.
Near-IR (NIR) emitting semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) with ultrabright fluorescence have been prepared for specific cellular targeting. A series of π-conjugated polymers were synthesized to form water dispersible multicomponent Pdots by an ultrasonication-assisted co-precipitation method. By optimizing cascade energy transfer in Pdots, high-intensity NIR fluorescence (φ = 0.32) with tunabl...
متن کاملMultilayered, core/shell nanoprobes based on magnetic ferric oxide particles and quantum dots for multimodality imaging of breast cancer tumors.
Multilayered, core/shell nanoprobes (MQQ-probe) based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and quantum dots (QDs) have been successfully developed for multimodality tumor imaging. This MQQ-probe contains Fe(3)O(4) MNPs, visible-fluorescent QDs (600 nm emission) and near infrared-fluorescent QDs (780 nm emission) in multiple silica layers. The fabrication of the MQQ-probe involves the synthesis of a...
متن کاملSemiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles for Centimeters-Deep Photoacoustic Imaging in the Second Near-Infrared Window.
Thienoisoindigo-based semiconducting polymer with a strong near-infrared absorbance is synthesized and its water-dispersed nanoparticles (TSPNs) are investigated as a contrast agent for photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1000-1350 nm). The TSPNs generate a strong PA signal in the NIR-II optical window, where background signals from endogenous contrast agents...
