Conjugated Quantum Dots Inhibit the Amyloid β (1-42) Fibrillation Process
GIORDANI, SILVIA; ZHANG, HONGZHOU; MOVIA, DANIA (2011)Nanoparticles have enormous potential in diagnostic and therapeutic studies. We have demonstarted that the amyloid beta mixed with and conjugated to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA)-capped CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) of size ... -
Detection of ErbB2: Nanotechnological solutions for clinical diagnostics
RAKOVICH, TATSIANA; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE; MOVIA, DANIA; VOLKOV, YURI (2014) -
Determination of spiropyran cytotoxicity by high content screening and analysis for safe application in bionanosensing
GIORDANI, SILVIA; MOVIA, DANIA; VOLKOV, YURI; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE (2010)The in vitro toxic response of spiropyrans in cellular models has not been previously addressed, despite the fact that such photoswitchable molecules have shown great potential as versatile and tunable components for ... -
Differential stress reaction of human colon cells to oleic-acid-stabilized and unstabilized ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles
MOVIA, DANIA; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE (2014)Therapeutic engineered nanoparticles (NPs), including ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) NPs, may accumulate in the lower digestive tract following ingestion or injection. In order to evaluate the reaction of ... -
Nanotoxicity in cancer research: technical protocols and tips considerations for the use of 3D tumour spheroids
MOVIA, DANIA; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE (InTech, 2018)The poor clinical translation of oncological nanomedicine products is one of the greatest challenges faced by research today. The use of reductionist in vitro models of human cancer and non-predictive animal models is ... -
Photo-controlled Uptake and Release of Zinc Metal Ions by Spiropyran receptors anchored to Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
GIORDANI, SILVIA; MOVIA, DANIA (2012)Light controllable release of antinflammatory zinc ions by a smart multifunctional material composed of spiropyrans and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is demonstrated. The exploitation of a number of complementary ... -
Proinflammatory Effects of Pyrogenic and Precipitated Amorphous Silica Nanoparticles in Innate Immunity Cells.
PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE; MOVIA, DANIA (2016)Amorphous silica nanoparticles (ASNP) can be synthetized via several processes, 2 of which are the thermal route (to yield pyrogenic silica) and the wet route from a solution containing silicate salts (to obtain precipitated, ... -
Spectroscopy of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Aqueous Surfactant Dispersion
MOVIA, DANIA; GIORDANI, SILVIA (2009)Optical studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in aqueous surfactant suspensions have made significant progress since the discovery of their bright band-gap fluorescence in the near-infrared region ... -
Targeted polyethylene glycol gold nanoparticles for the treatment of pancreatic cancer: from synthesis to proof-of-concept in vitro studies.
MOVIA, DANIA; VOLKOV, YURI; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE; MAGUIRE, CIARAN (2016)Abstract: The main objective of this study was to optimize and characterize a drug delivery carrier for doxorubicin, intended to be intravenously administered, capable of improving the therapeutic index of the chemotherapeutic ... -
Towards a nanospecific approach for risk assessment.
MOVIA, DANIA; PRINA MELLO, ADRIELE (2016)In the current paper, a new strategy for risk assessment of nanomaterials is described, which builds upon previous project outcomes and is developed within the FP7 NANoREG project. NANoREG has the aim to develop, for the ...
