Nanoparticle-assisted drug delivery has been emerging as an active research area in
recent years. The in vivo biodistribution of nanoparticle and its following mechanisms of …

Cut here to cure: Doxorubicin attached to pH-sensitive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-hydrazone-Dox)
shows potential in the chemotherapeutic treatment of liver cancer. …

The characterization of near‐infrared (NIR) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) suitable
for in vivo optical imaging with high efficiency is presented. Trimethylammonium groups …

Oxygen-dependent quenching of phosphorescence is a function of the frequency of collision
between the phosphor and molecular oxygen and of the efficiency of energy transfer during …

Functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with Pd-porphyrins for cancer
cell photodynamic therapy is reported. The composite platform, MSN–PdTPP, expands the …

In this work we report the development of the tri-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles
(MSNs) for use as theranostic compounds that orchestrate the trio of imaging, target and …

We synthesized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with different densities of surface
positive charges. The positive surface charge was generated by incorporating …

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) may be regarded as a “smart” technology in the
design of fluorescence probes for biological sensing and imaging. Recently, a variety of …

A simple surface modification process that conjugates a photosensitizer, photoporphyrin IX (PpIX),
with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) through covalent bonding to yield PpIX-…

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs), which exist in close proximity to vascular smooth muscle
cells (SMCs), are constantly subjected to blood flow–induced shear stress. Although the effect …
