  • Publication number: 20150051534
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems, and devices for performing photothermal therapy (e.g., to treat cancer) using photothermal nanoparticles with a biocompatible coating surrounding a highly crystallized Fe3O4 core. In certain embodiments, the highly crystallized Fe3O4 core of the photothermal nanoparticles has an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern where the brightest diffraction ring is from the 440 plane. In some embodiments, the photothermal therapy is conducted with a device configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in the wavelengths between about 650 nm and 1000 nm, wherein the device further comprises a visible light source that allows a user to determine where the electromagnetic radiation is contacting a subject.

  • Publication number: 20140296551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions, and kits for generating conjugated gold nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the present invention provides methods of generating unsaturated conjugated gold nanoparticles by mixing naked gold nanoparticles with a first type of attachment molecules at a molar ratio such that the attachment molecules attach to the naked gold particles at a density level below the saturation level of the naked gold particles (e.g., at a saturation level of 1-99%). In some embodiments, a second type of attachment molecules (e.g., with the opposite charge as the first type of attachment molecules) are mixed with the unsaturated conjugated gold nanoparticles to generate double-conjugated gold nanoparticles (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20140228671
    Abstract: Differences of electromagnetic (EM) properties between healthy and cancerous tissues allow detection of abnormal conditions occurring in a tissue of an animal, for example, intra-operative cancer detection. By using a time-varying EM field, electrical eddy currents are generated in the tissue sample, and assessed using phase-sensitive detection. In some aspects, a change in phase shift between the voltage in a receiver coil and the voltage in a driver coil provide a direct and immediate indication of differences in EM properties of specimens.
