Bombyx mori Tetraspanin A (BmTsp.A) is a facilitator in BmNPV invasion by regulating apoptosis.

BmTsp.A (Bombyx mori Tetraspanin A) is one of the four transmembrane proteins which are capable to regulate multiple aspects of the immune response and are involved in various stages of viral invasion of the hosts. This study focused on the sequence features, analysis of expression pattern, as well as the effect of BmTsp.

Quantitative photoacoustic imaging for early detection of muscle ischemia injury.

Acute lower extremity ischemia is a limb-and life-threatening problem. The timing of clinical intervention is critical to achieving optimal outcomes. However, there has been a lack of effective techniques capable of evaluating muscle and limb damage.

Organic Semiconducting Nanoparticles as Efficient Photoacoustic Agents for Lightening Early Thrombus and Monitoring Thrombolysis in Living Mice.

Acute venous thrombosis is prevalent and potentially fatal. Accurate diagnosis of early thrombus is needed for patients in timely clinical intervention to prevent life-threatening conditions. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) with excellent spatial resolution and high optical contrast shows more promise for this purpose.

Engineering Lysosome-Targeting BODIPY Nanoparticles for Photoacoustic Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy under Near-Infrared Light.

Developing lysosome-targeting organic nanoparticles combined with photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) functions toward personalized medicine are highly desired yet challenging. Here, for the first time, lysosome-targeting BODIPY nanoparticles were engineered by encapsulating near-infrared (NIR) absorbed BODIPY dye within amphiphilic DSPE-mPEG5000 for high-performing lysosomal PAI and acid-activatable PDT against cancer cells under NIR light.
