  • Activatable Particles, Preparations and Uses
    Publication number: 20070217996
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel activatable particles which can be used in the health sector. The invention more particularly relates to composite particles which can generate free radicals or heat when excited by X rays, and to the uses thereof in health, particularly human. The inventive particles comprise an inorganic-based, and optionally organic-based, nucleus and can be activated in vivo, in order to label or alter cells, tissues or organs. The invention also relates to methods for the production of said particles, and to pharmaceutical or diagnostic compositions containing same.

  • Amino functionalized ORMOSIL nanoparticles as delivery vehicles
    Publication number: 20060088599
    Abstract: Provided are amino functionalized ORMOSIL nanoparticles. Also provided are compositions comprising such particles and compositions in which the nanoparticles are complexed to polynucleotides. The complexing of polynucleotides to the amino functionalized ORMOSIL nanoparticles protects the polynucleotides from environmental damage. These complexes can be used for delivery of polynucleotides to cells.
