Nanodisco balls: control over surface versus core loading of diagnostically active nanocrystals into polymer nanoparticles.

ACS Nano 8(9) , 9143-53, (2014)

Nanoparticles of complex architectures can have unique properties. Self-assembly of spherical nanocrystals is a high yielding route to such systems. In this study, we report the self-assembly of a polymer and nanocrystals into aggregates, where the location o...

Facile synthesis of multifunctional beta-NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles in oleylamine.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(1) , 529-32, (2013)

Multifunctional beta-NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using oleylamine as both solvent and stabilizer via the thermolysis method. They have uniform morphology with a mean size of 12.7 nm and show efficient up-conversion emiss...

Gadolinium complex of DO3A-benzothiazole aniline (BTA) conjugate as a theranostic agent.

J. Med. Chem. 56(20) , 8104-11, (2013)

A gadolinium complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-trisacetic acid (DO3A) and benzothiazole-aniline (BTA) of the type [Gd(DO3A-BTA)(H2O)] has been prepared for use as a single molecule theranostic agent. The kinetic inertness and r1 relaxivity (= 3....

A Hyaluronic Acid-Conjugated Gadolinium Hepatocyte-Specific T1 Contrast Agent for Liver Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Mol. Imaging Biol. 17 , 497-503, (2015)

In this study, we synthesized hyaluronic acid-conjugated gadolinium (HA-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-Gd) and evaluated as hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent for the diagnosis of hepatic metastasis.We conducted F...

Transcription factor CREB is involved in CaSR-mediated cytoskeleton gene expression.

Anat. Rec. (Hoboken.) 298(3) , 501-12, (2015)

Our previous studies illustrated that a steady increase of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was important for maintaining microtubules (MTs) rearrangement in apoptotic cells. However, little is known about the effect of calcium sensing receptor (...

Solid Solutions of Rare Earth Cations in Mesoporous Anatase Beads and Their Performances in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Sci. Rep. 5 , 16785, (2015)

Solid solutions of the rare earth (RE) cations Pr(3+), Nd(3+), Sm(3+), Gd(3+), Er(3+) and Yb(3+) in anatase TiO2 have been synthesized as mesoporous beads in the concentration range 0.1-0.3% of metal atoms. The solid solutions were have been characterized by ...

Controlling and monitoring stem cell safety in vivo in an experimental rodent model.

Stem Cells 32(11) , 2833-44, (2014)

Adult stem cells have been investigated increasingly over the past years for multiple applications. Although they have a more favorable safety profile compared to pluripotent stem cells, they are still capable of self-renewal and differentiate into several ce...

Functional regeneration of supraspinal connections in a patient with transected spinal cord following transplantation of bulbar olfactory ensheathing cells with peripheral nerve bridging.

Cell. Transplant. 23(12) , 1631-55, (2015)

Treatment of patients sustaining a complete spinal cord injury remains an unsolved clinical problem because of the lack of spontaneous regeneration of injured central axons. A 38-year-old man sustained traumatic transection of the thoracic spinal cord at uppe...

Gd(III) complexes intercalated into hydroxy double salts as potential MRI contrast agents.

Dalton Trans. 44 , 20728-34, (2015)

The ion exchange intercalation of two Gd-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents into hydroxy double salts (HDSs) is reported. The presence of Gd(3+) diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Gd(3+) diethylenetriaminepenta(methylenephosphonate) complexes in...

Analysis of gadolinium-based contrast agents in tap water with a new hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ZIC-cHILIC) hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 407(9) , 2415-22, (2015)

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were optimised for the direct determination of gadolinium-based contrast agents in tap water. In comparison to our previous work, a new developed...
