  • MODIFIED GOLD NANOPARTICLES FOR THERAPY
    Publication number: 20140086828
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions utilizing gold nanoparticles for therapy for a medical condition, such as cancer. In particular aspects, the nanoparticles are included with or in a T cell to facilitate targeting of the nanoparticles to a desired location in vivo and/or to facilitate therapeutic treatment for the condition. In specific cases, the nanoparticle/T cell compositions further comprise microRNAs and/or peptides, and so forth.

  • Particle-based microfluidic device for providing high magnetic field gradients
    Patent number: 8551333
    Abstract: A microfluidic device for manipulating particles in a fluid has a device body that defines a main channel therein, in which the main channel has an inlet and an outlet. The device body further defines a particulate diverting channel therein, the particulate diverting channel being in fluid connection with the main channel between the inlet and the outlet of the main channel and having a particulate outlet. The microfluidic device also has a plurality of microparticles arranged proximate or in the main channel between the inlet of the main channel and the fluid connection of the particulate diverting channel to the main channel. The plurality of microparticles each comprises a material in a composition thereof having a magnetic susceptibility suitable to cause concentration of magnetic field lines of an applied magnetic field while in operation.
