The characteristics of nanoporous inorganic coatings on implants or on implantable devices
are reviewed. The commonly used nanoporous materials, such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 …

For the development of surface-functionalized gold nanoparticles as cellular probes and
delivery agents, we have synthesized hetero-bifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, MW 1500) …

The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in interest in the use of gold nanoparticles (GNPs)
as radiation sensitizers for radiation therapy. This interest was initially driven by their …

The positive refractive index of conventional optical lenses means that they need curved
surfaces to form an image, whereas a negative index of refraction allows a flat slab of a material …

Radiation therapy (RT) is the treatment of cancer and other diseases with ionizing radiation.
The ultimate goal of RT is to destroy all the disease cells while sparing healthy tissue. …

Recent advances in molecular imaging and nanotechnology are providing new opportunities
for biomedical imaging with great promise for the development of novel imaging agents. …

The rising prevalence and severity of antibiotic-resistant biofilm infections poses an alarming
threat to public health worldwide. Here, biocompatible multi-compartment nanocarriers …

This roadmap outlines the potential roles of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) in the field of
radiation therapy. MNPs made up of a wide range of materials (from Titanium, Z= 22, to Bismuth, …

Personalized medicine seeks to utilize targeted therapies with increased selectivity and
efficacy in preselected patient cohorts. One such molecularly targeted therapy is enabled by …

More than 50% of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy. The clinical delivery of
curative radiation dose is strictly restricted by the proximal healthy tissues. We propose a dual-…
