Glycoconjugate probes and targets for molecular imaging using magnetic resonance.
Recently, many research activities in medical diagnosis have been devoted to molecular imaging with MRI. A key issue is the evaluation of molecular targets that allow the early detection and characterization of diseases and the assessment of the effects of therapy. The majority of the current targeting vectors are peptides and proteins; reports on carbohydrate-based probes are relatively scarce...
متن کاملMultimodal Molecular Imaging In Vivo
In medical research and practice, imaging is now playing a crucial role. With rapidly developing molecular imaging, the role of in vivo imaging is expected to expand much more. In molecular imaging, one of the recent trends is multimodal imaging, which theoretically combines all the strengths of each imaging modality and consequently provides synergism. For this, many multimodal imaging probes ...
متن کاملGd(III) functionalized gold nanorods for multimodal imaging applications.
We demonstrate a novel noncovalent method for producing Gd(III)-functionalized gold nanorods as multimodal contrast agents for MRI and CT imaging. The ligand is connected to the surface of the gold nanorods by a noncovalent bond making the Gd(III) ions directly accessible to water molecules, and resulting in a longitudinal relaxivity as high as 21.3 mM(-1) s(-1). In addition, compared with sphe...
متن کاملAptamer-Functionalized Nano-Biosensors
Nanomaterials have become one of the most interesting sensing materials because of their unique size- and shape-dependent optical properties, high surface energy and surface-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface properties. Aptamers are oligonucleotides that can bind their target ligands with high affinity. The use of nanomaterials that are bioconjugated with aptamers for selective and sensitive...
متن کاملImaging Tumor Metastases with Molecular Probes.
Tumor metastasis is an important prognostic factor regarding long-term survival rate of cancer patients. At present, no imaging modality or technique is ideal for diagnosis of metastases. Molecular imaging has provided a fantastic tool for tumor metastases imaging. Based on the current medical imaging tools such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical, single-photon emission computed tomog...
