Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatible luminescent silicon quantum dots for imaging of cancer cells.
TL;DR: This paper reports the preparation of highly stable aqueous suspensions of Si QDs using phospholipid micelles, in which the optical properties of Si nanocrystals are retained, which paves the way for silicon quantum dots to be a valuable optical probe in biomedical diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo targeted cancer imaging, sentinel lymph node mapping and multi-channel imaging with biocompatible silicon nanocrystals.
Folarin Erogbogbo,Ken-Tye Yong,Indrajit Roy,Rui Hu,Wing Cheung Law,Wei-Wei Zhao,Hong Ding,Fang Wu,Rajiv Kumar,Mark T. Swihart,Paras N. Prasad +10 more
TL;DR: This work overcomes dispersibility and functionalization challenges to in vivo imaging with Si QDs through a unique nanoparticle synthesis, surface functionalization, PEGylated micelle encapsulation, and bioconjugation process that produces bright, targeted nanospheres with stable luminescence and long tumor accumulation time in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatible magnetofluorescent probes: luminescent silicon quantum dots coupled with superparamagnetic iron(III) oxide.
Folarin Erogbogbo,Ken-Tye Yong,Rui Hu,Wing Cheung Law,Hong Ding,Ching Wen Chang,Paras N. Prasad,Mark T. Swihart +7 more
TL;DR: The development of a multimodal probe that combines the optical properties of silicon quantum dots with the superparamagnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles to create biocompatible magnetofluorescent nanoprobes that were demonstrated in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organically capped silicon nanoparticles with blue photoluminescence prepared by hydrosilylation followed by oxidation.
TL;DR: Oxidation of yellow-emitting silicon nanoparticles with an organic monolayer grafted to their surface, using either UV irradiation in solution or heating in air, converted them to blue-emitted particles, demonstrating that it is the silicon nanocrystal, and not the organic component, that is essential to this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing clinical prospects of silicon quantum dots: studies in mice and monkeys.

TL;DR: It is shown that neither mice nor monkeys show overt signs of toxicity reflected in their behavior, body mass, or blood chemistry, even at a dose of 200 mg/kg, and the formulation did not biodegrade as expected.
