Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-coated triangular silver nanoparticles as a novel class of biocompatible, highly effective photothermal transducers for in vitro cancer cell therapy
Sanda Boca,Monica Potara,Ana-Maria Gabudean,Aurelie Juhem,Patrice L. Baldeck,Simion Astilean +5 more
TL;DR: The performance of newly synthesized chitosan-coated silver nanotriangles (Chit-AgNTs) with strong resonances in near-infrared (NIR) to operate as photothermal agents against a line of human non-small lung cancer cells is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ethylene-glycol decorated ruthenium(ii) complex for two-photon photodynamic therapy.
Sanda Boca,Sanda Boca,Mickaël Four,Adeline Bonne,Boudewijn van der Sanden,Simion Astilean,Patrice L. Baldeck,Gilles Lemercier,Gilles Lemercier +8 more
TL;DR: A novel water-soluble Ru(ii) complex has been prepared, which represents a promising new class of selective two-photon sensitizers for use in photodynamic therapy within a confined space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower-shaped gold nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization and their application as SERS-active tags inside living cells.
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of flower-shaped gold nanoparticles are presented and their applicability as SERS-active tags for cellular spectral detection is demonstrated and found to present a low level of cytotoxicity and high chemical stability together with SERS sensitivity down to picomolar particle concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detoxification of gold nanorods by conjugation with thiolated poly(ethylene glycol) and their assessment as SERS-active carriers of Raman tags.
Sanda Boca,Simion Astilean +1 more
TL;DR: It is believed that plasmonic nanoprobes could act as SERS-active carriers of Raman tags for application in cellular imaging and be tested as effective SERS substrates at 785 nm laser line with p-aminothiophenol (pATP) as a tag molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-coated triangular silver nanoparticles as a novel class of biocompatible, highly sensitive plasmonic platforms for intracellular SERS sensing and imaging.
Monica Potara,Sanda Boca,Emilia Licarete,Annette Damert,Marius-Costel Alupei,Mircea T. Chiriac,Octavian Popescu,Octavian Popescu,Ute Schmidt,Simion Astilean +9 more
TL;DR: The design and assessment of a novel class of biocompatible, highly sensitive SERS nanotags based on chitosan-coated silver nanotriangles (Chit-AgNTs) labeled with para-aminothiophenol (p-ATP) are reported, which presents low in vitro toxicity, without interfering with cell proliferation.
