Biophysical assessment of single cell toxicity: diesel exhaust particle-treated human aortic endothelial cells
(PLOS (Public Library of Science), 2012)
Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), a major source of traffic-related air pollution, has become a serious health
concern due to its adverse influences on human health including cardiovascular and respiratory ...
High-resolution imaging in a deep turbid medium based on an ultrasound-switchable fluorescence technique
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The spatial resolution of fluorescence imaging techniques in deep optically turbid media such as
tissues is limited by photon diffusion. To break the diffusion ...
Enhanced endothelialization on surface modified poly(l-lactic acid) substrates
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2011)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Improved biodegradable vascular grafts and stents are in demand, particularly for pediatric patients. Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is an FDA-approved biodegradable ...
Nanomaterials for photo-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications
(Ivyspring, 2013)
Photo-based diagnosis and treatment methods are gaining prominence due to increased spatial
imaging resolution, minimally invasive modalities involved as well as localized treatment. Recently,
nanoparticles (NPs) have ...
Islet encapsulation - Strategies to enhance islet cell functions
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2007)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent, costly, and debilitating diseases in the world. Although traditional
insulin therapy has alleviated the short-term effects, ...
Dual-Drug Containing Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Lung Cancer Therapy
(Nature, 16 October)
Late-stage diagnosis of lung cancer occurs ~95% of the time due to late manifestation of its symptoms, necessitating rigorous treatment following diagnosis. Existing treatment methods are limited by lack of specificity, ...
Lung protection by inhalation of exogenous solubilized extracellular matrix
(PLoS ONE, 2017-02-02)
Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) contains complex tissue-specific components that
work in concert to promote tissue repair and constructive remodeling and has been used
experimentally and clinically to accelerate ...
A Dual-Modality System for Both Multi-Color Ultrasound-Switchable Fluorescence and Ultrasound Imaging
(MDPI, 4 February)
Simultaneous imaging of multiple targets (SIMT) in opaque biological tissues is an important goal for molecular imaging in the future. Multi-color fluorescence imaging in deep tissues is a promising technology to reach ...
Effects of cyclic strain and growth factors on vascular smooth muscle cell responses
(Bentham Open Access, 2009)
Under physiological and pathological conditions, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) are exposed to different
biochemical factors and biomechanical forces. Previous studies pertaining to SMC responses have not investigated ...
Multifunctionality of indocyanine green-loaded biodegradable nanoparticles for enhanced optical imaging and hyperthermia intervention of cancer
(SPIE, 2012)
The aim of this study was to develop and characterize multifunctional biodegradable and biocompatible
poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) as an optical-imaging contrast
agent ...
