Intravital Vascular Phototheranostics and Real-Time Circulation Dynamics of Micro- and Nanosized Erythrocyte-Derived Carriers
Wangcun Jia,Joshua M. Burns,Betty Villantay,Jack C. Tang,Raviraj Vankayala,Ben Lertsakdadet,Bernard Choi,J. Stuart Nelson,Bahman Anvari +8 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the circulation dynamics of micro and nano-sized erythrocyte-derived carriers in real time using near-infrared fluorescence imaging, and evaluated the effectiveness of such carrier systems in mediating photothermolysis of cutaneous vasculature in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-Infrared-Fluorescent Erythrocyte-Mimicking Particles: Physical and Optical Characteristics
TL;DR: Based on quantitative analyses of the fluorescence emission spectra of the NETs, it is determined that 20 μM ICG utilized during fabrication of NETs presents an optimal concentration that maximizes the integratedfluorescence emission for micrometer- and nanometer-sized NETs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phototheranostics Using Erythrocyte-Based Particles.
TL;DR: There has been a recent increase in the development of delivery systems based on red blood cells (RBCs) for light-mediated imaging and therapeutic applications as discussed by the authors, while the addition of an optical cargo allows the particles to be activated by light for a number of promising applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
RBC-Derived Optical Nanoparticles Remain Stable After a Freeze-Thaw Cycle
TL;DR: Results indicate that a single cycle freezing the RBC-derived nanoparticles to -20 °C followed by thawing at room temperature is an effective method to retain their physical and optical characteristics and their interactions with biological systems without the need for use of cryoprotectants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane Cholesterol Enrichment of Red Blood Cell-Derived Microparticles Results in Prolonged Circulation.
Jack C. Tang,Chi Hua Lee,Thompson Lu,Ravi Kishore Vankayala,Taylor Hanley,Chiemerie Azubuogu,Jiang Li,Meera G. Nair,Wangcun Jia,Bahman Anvari +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that membrane cholesterol enrichment is an effective method to reduce PS externalization on the surface of RBC-derived particles and increase their longevity in circulation.
