Abstract

In the September issue of Chem, Pascu and co-workers report their research on the application of supramolecular constructs to the formation of multimodality imaging probes. Basing their work on single-walled carbon nanotubes, they encapsulated radioactive metal ions, sealed the ends of the tubes with fullerenes, and coated them with polysaccharides. The resulting construct could be imaged on a cellular level by multiphoton fluorescence imaging and on a whole animal basis by positron emission tomography.

Basing their work on single-walled carbon nanotubes, they encapsulated radioactive metal ions, sealed the ends of the tubes with fullerenes, and coated them with polysaccharides. The resulting construct could be imaged on a cellular level by multiphoton fluorescence imaging and on a whole animal basis by positron emission tomography.
