Discrete metal nanoparticles with plasmonic chirality

Jijun He

From a geometrical perspective, a chiral object does not have mirror planes or inversion symmetry. It exhibits the same physical properties as its mirror image (enantiomer), except for the chiroptical activity, which is often the opposite. Recent advanceme ...

Stimulation and homogenization of the protoporphyrin IX endogenous production by photobiomodulation to increase the potency of photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Cyrus Kazemiraad

Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is produced in the mitochondria and used as fluorescent contrast agent or photosensitizer after exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) delivery in cancer photodynamic detection and therapy (PDT). Although routinely used in the clini ...

Bladder Cancer Photodynamic Therapeutic Agent with Off-On Magnetic Resonance Imaging Enhancement

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Chen Xie

Acting as an extracellular matrix protein receptor, alpha(v)beta(3) integrin becomes an appealing target for photodynamic therapy of bladder cancer. Here, specific alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin-targeting porphyrinato-gadolinium complexes (Gd-PEG-R-n) are demons ...

Increase and homogenization of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX by photobiomodulation

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and/or photodetection (PDD) based on protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) are used in many medical fields. However, the endogenous production of PpIX in tissues after administration of its precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or derivative ...

Gold Raspberry-Like Colloidosomes Prepared at the Water-Nitromethane Interface

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov

Here, we propose a simple shake-flask method to produce micron-size colloidosomes from a liquid-liquid interface functionalized with a gold nanoparticle film. A step-by-step extraction process of an organic phase partially miscible with water led to the fo ...
