  • NANOPARTICLES FOR BRAIN TUMOR IMAGING
    Publication number: 20150320890
    Abstract: Nanoparticle having a chitosan-polyethylene oxide oligomer copolymer coating, and methods for making and using the nanoparticle are provided. The nanoparticle can have a core that includes a material that imparts magnetic resonance imaging activity to the particle and, optionally, one or more of an associated targeting agent, fluorescent agent, or therapeutic agent.

    Inventors: Miqin Zhang, Conroy Sun, Omid Veiseh, Narayan Bhattarai
  • IMAGING THE HETEROGENEOUS UPTAKE OF RADIOLABELED MOLECULES IN SINGLE LIVING CELLS
    Publication number: 20140242600
    Abstract: A radioluminescence microscopy system and method for imaging the distribution of radiolabeled molecules in live cell cultures and tissue sections. Cells are grown and incubated with radiolabeled molecules on a scintillator plate or a scintillator plate is placed adjacent to the cells after incubation. Scintillation light produced by decay of radiolabeled molecules inside, bound to, or surrounding the cells, is recorded on an imaging device. Fluorescence microscopy of the same cells with other types of molecules of interest that are labeled with different fluorophores can be conducted concurrently and the biological activity of the labeled molecules can be correlated.
