Detection, Measurement, And Imaging Of Cells Using Cellular Internalization of Nanoparticles
Publication number: 20160206226
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for detecting, measuring, or locating cells or substances present in even very low concentrations in vivo in subjects, using targeted magnetic nanoparticles and special magnetic systems. The magnetic systems can comprise magnetizing subsystems and sensors subsystems, including as examples SQUID sensors and atomic magnetometers. The magnetic systems can detect, measure, or location particles preferentially internalized by cells due to the action of antibodies, proteins, macromolecules, or nutrients required for cellular metabolism. Example magnetic systems are capable of detecting sub-nanogram amounts of these nanoparticles.

METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR THE LOCALIZATION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE SUCH AS CANCER
Publication number: 20160136308
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods of detecting disease, methods of treating disease using targeted hyperthermia, methods of treating disease using targeted chemical agents, methods of treating disease comprising accurate measurements of the efficacy of treatments. The effect of nanoparticles on magnetic fields can be used to determine the location of a disease, and a measure of the number of cells characteristic of the disease. This location and measure can be used to guide therapy, and provide information regarding the most effective therapy to be applied. The same nanoparticles can be used to facilitate hyperthermia treatments, and to allow targeted application of chemical therapeutic agents.
