  • Publication number: 20210145985
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for intracellular imaging, assessment, and/or treatment of tissue before, during, and/or after surgical procedures using nanoparticles (e.g., less than 50 nanometers in diameter, e.g., photoswitchable nanoparticles) and/or a super-resolution microscope system. The present disclosure describes nanoparticles (e.g., nanosensors and photoswitchable nanoparticles) that are used to monitor and/or track changes in environmental conditions and/or analytes in the cellular microenvironment before, during, and/or after surgical procedures. The present disclosure also describes systems and methods that provide information related to the distribution and/or delivery of photoswitchable nanoparticles at super resolution (e.g., using super-resolution microscopy).

  • Publication number: 20190090750
    Abstract: Described herein is a multiplex platform that uses ultrasmall nanoparticles (e.g., C dots and C? dots) to graphically differentiate specific nerves (e.g., sensory nerves vs. motor nerves) for nerve transplants and other surgeries. Also described herein is a multiplex platform that uses ultrasmall nanoparticles (e.g., C dots and C? dots) to graphically differentiate between different types of lymph nodes and/or lymphatic pathways, e.g., to safely and effectively perform vascularized lymph node transplantation in the treatment of lymphedema. Also described herein is a multiplex platform that uses ultrasmall nanoparticles (e.g., C dots and C? dots) to graphically differentiate parathyroid tissue.
