Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo molecular and cellular imaging with quantum dots.

TL;DR: A new structural design involves encapsulating luminescent QDs with amphiphilic block copolymers and linking the polymer coating to tumor-targeting ligands and drug delivery functionalities, which raised new possibilities for ultrasensitive and multiplexed imaging of molecular targets in living cells, animal models and possibly in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse Applications of Nanomedicine

Beatriz Pelaz, +91 more
- 14 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: An overview of recent developments in nanomedicine is provided and the current challenges and upcoming opportunities for the field are highlighted and translation to the clinic is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of Nanotechnology in Cancer Therapy and Imaging

TL;DR: Nanodevices, which are 100 to 1,000‐fold smaller than cancer cells, can be easily transferred through leaky blood vessels and interact with targeted tumor‐specific proteins both on the surface of and inside cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo magnetic enrichment and multiplex photoacoustic detection of circulating tumour cells

TL;DR: This approach allows circulating tumour cells to be concentrated from a large volume of blood in the vessels of tumour-bearing mice, and this could have potential for the early diagnosis of cancer and the prevention of metastasis in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single chain epidermal growth factor receptor antibody conjugated nanoparticles for in vivo tumor targeting and imaging.

TL;DR: Efficient internalization of ScFvEGFR nanoparticles into tumor cells after systemic delivery suggests that the EGFR-targeted nanoparticles can also be used for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.
