Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of Ag@SiO2@Y2O3:Er Nanostructures for Bioimaging: Tuning of the Upconversion Fluorescence with Silver Nanoparticles
Fan Zhang,Gary B. Braun,Yifeng Shi,Yichi Zhang,Xiaohong Sun,Norbert O. Reich,Dongyuan Zhao,Galen D. Stucky +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the nanostructures comprising silver cores and dense layers of Y(2)O(3):Er separated by a silica shell are an excellent model system to study the interaction between upconversion materials and metals in nanoscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoporous Multifunctional Upconversion Luminescent and Magnetic “Nanorattle” Materials for Targeted Chemotherapy
Fan Zhang,Gary B. Braun,Alessia Pallaoro,Yichi Zhang,Yifeng Shi,Daxiang Cui,Martin Moskovits,Dongyuan Zhao,Galen D. Stucky +8 more
TL;DR: In vivo experiments yield highly encouraging tumor shrinkage with the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) and significantly enhanced tumor targeting in the presence of an applied magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for DNA detection by nanoparticle assembly onto smooth metal films.
TL;DR: AFM analysis indicates that strong SERS signal intensity arises from only a few surface-bound nanoparticles which generate an enhancement factor ∼105−106 greater than the metal film alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-Activated Gene Silencing via Gold Nanoshell−siRNA Conjugates
Gary B. Braun,Alessia Pallaoro,Guohui Wu,Dimitris Missirlis,Joseph A. Zasadzinski,Matthew Tirrell,Norbert O. Reich +6 more
TL;DR: The pulsed near-infrared (NIR) laser-dependent release of siRNA from coated 40 nm gold nanoshells is demonstrated, which should facilitate more sophisticated developmental biology and therapeutic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic-loaded nanoparticles targeted to the site of infection enhance antibacterial efficacy.

TL;DR: It is shown that conjugation of vancomycin-loaded nanoparticles with the cyclic 9-amino-acid peptide CARGGLKSC (CARG), identified via phage display on Staphylococcus aureus, increases the antibacterial activity of the nanoparticles in S. a Aureus-infected tissues and reduces the systemic dose needed, minimizing side effects.
