A comparative study on grafting polymers from cellulose nanocrystals via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and activator re-generated by electron transfer ATRP

Both Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (SI-ATRP) and Surface-Initiated Activator Re-Generated by Electron Transfer ATRP (SI-ARGET ATRP) were performed to graft polystyrene and poly(4-vinylpyridine) on the surface of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to evaluate the potential benefits of each method.

177Lu-labeled cyclic Asn-Gly-Arg peptide tagged carbon nanospheres as tumor targeting radio-nanoprobes

This study explores the potential of 177Lu-labeled carbon nanospheres as radio-nanoprobes for molecular imaging and therapy. The carboxyl functionalized surface of carbon nanospheres (CNS) was conjugated with [Gly-Gly-Gly-c(Asn-Gly-Arg)], G3-cNGR peptide through amide bond for targeting tumor vasculature and with [2-(4-Aminobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane…

177Lu-labeled carbon nanospheres: a new entry in the field of targeted radionanomedicine

Multi-functional nanomaterial conjugates constructed with targeting ligands and therapeutic radioisotopes are key for the future clinical translation of radionanomedicine. However, the choice of the nanomaterial governs the in vivo oncological applications.

Engineering the Morphostructural Properties and Drug Loading Degree of Organic–Inorganic Fluorouracil–MgAl LDH Nanohybrids by Rational Control of Hydrothermal Treatment

Anisotropic nanoparticles like nanorods and nanotubes enable advances in medicine, electronics, and material science. Their self-assembled structures depend heavily on precise shape and size. We demonstrate how Cordouan’s Dynamic Light Scattering systems can reliably characterize key parameters.
