  • SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE/BIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE COMPLEXES AND METHODS RELATED THERETO
    Publication number: 20130058984
    Abstract: The present invention includes single-walled carbon nanotube compositions for the delivery of siRNA and methods of making such single-walled carbon nanotube compositions. A single-walled carbon nanotube composition for delivery of siRNA includes a nonfunctionalized single-walled carbon nanotube; and siRNA noncovalently complexed with the nonfunctionalized single-walled carbon nanotube, wherein the siRNA solubilizes such nonfunctionalized single-walled carbon nanotube.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: March 7, 2013
    Applicant: WILLIAM MARSH RICE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Garth Powis, Jeffrey Bartholomeusz, James Tour, Howard Schmidt, Paul Cherukuri, R. Bruce Weisman
  • Intraluminal magneto sensor system and method of use
    Patent number: 8212554
    Abstract: A system (100) including a catheter mounted magneto sensor (114), such as a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and methods using the system are disclosed, where the system and method are designed to detect changes in a magnetic field in a body of interest, such as a patient, to detect changes in a magnetic field in a patient, to identify loci in a target body that accumulate magnetic particles or to identify vulnerable plague in a patient.
    Type: Grant
