Efficient near-IR hyperthermia and intense nonlinear optical imaging contrast on the gold nanorod-in-shell nanostructures.

12 Oct 2009 New gold nanorod (Au NR)-in-shell nanostructures were developed to be more efficacious than Au NRs in near-IR (NIR) hyperthermia and nonlinear optical imaging contrast. Au NR-in-shell nanostructures are composed of an intact Au NR in a Au/Ag ... Read more...

PEGylated nanoceria as radical scavenger with tunable redox chemistry.

12 Oct 2009 We report the direct synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) in polyethylene glycol (PEG) based solutions with efficient radical scavenging properties. Synthesis of CNPs in PEG demonstrated a concentration dependent (of PEG) redox activity ... Read more...

Increased osteoblast functions in the presence of BMP-7 short peptides for nanostructured biomaterial applications.

29 Sep 2009 To improve bone regeneration around orthopedic biomaterials, researchers have attempted to combine growth factors on and in implants. Equally as exciting, greater bone growth has been demonstrated around nanoscaled materials (like helical rosette ... Read more...
