AI Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerosis is a serious disease that is hard to detect with traditional imaging methods due to the location of its lesions, but NIR-II nanomaterials offer promising solutions for better visualization and treatment.
- Recent advancements in nanotechnology have enhanced the use of optical nanomaterials for cardiovascular conditions, favoring noninvasive and precise imaging techniques.
- The review highlights the potential and challenges of using NIR-II nanomaterials for diagnosing and treating atherosclerosis, emphasizing their ability to penetrate deep into biological tissues with minimal background interference.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Atherosclerosis, a highly pathogenic and lethal disease, is difficult to locate accurately via conventional imaging because of its scattered and deep lesions. However, second near-infrared (NIR-II) nanomaterials show great application potential in the tracing of atherosclerotic plaques due to their excellent penetration and angiographic capabilities.
Recent Findings: With the development of nanotechnology, among many nanomaterials available for the visual diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, optical nanomaterials provide strong support for various biomedical applications because of their advantages, such as noninvasive, nondestructive and molecular component imaging. Among optical nanomaterials of different wavelengths, NIR-II-range (900 ~ 1700 nm) nanomaterials have been gradually applied in the visual diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases because of their deep biological tissue penetration and limited background interference. This review explored in detail the prospects and challenges of the biological imaging and clinical application of NIR-II nanomaterials in treating atherosclerosis.
