Charron DM, Chen J & Zheng G ChemNanoMat, 2016 Nanocarriers incorporating therapeutic and imaging agents within a single nanostructure are emerging tools for drug development and treatment planning. Additional information can be provided using activatable fluorescence that dynamically reports nanocarrier disruption and drug release. Dual-wavelength activation encodes a unique fluorescenceContinue Reading

Farhadi A, Roxin Á, Wilson BC, Zheng G Theranostics, 2015 DOI: 10.7150/thno.10694 To impart effective cellular damage via photodynamic therapy (PDT), it is vital to deliver the appropriate light dose and photosensitizer concentration, and to monitor the PDT dose delivered at the site of interest. In vivo monitoring of photosensitizers has inContinue Reading

Huang H, Cruz W, Chen J, Zheng G Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2015 DOI: 10.1002/wnan.1308 Synthetic lipoproteins represent a relevant tool for targeted delivery of biological/chemical agents (chemotherapeutics, siRNAs, photosensitizers, and imaging contrast agents) into various cell types. These nanoparticles offer a number of advantages for drugs deliveryContinue Reading

Muhanna N, MacDonald TD, Chan H, Jin CS, Burgess L, Cui L, Chen J, Irish JC & Zheng G Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2015 DOI: 10.1002/ange.201803535 64Cu-porphysome nanoparticles enable superior delineation of neoplastic tissues, metastatic lymph nodes, and vascular drainage on head and neck cancer orthotopic rabbit model using positron emissionContinue Reading
