20100230603 | INTEGRATED NEUTRON-GAMMA RADIATION DETECTOR WITH OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE AND NEUTRON SCINTILLATING MATERIAL - A radiation detector includes a neutron sensing element having a neutron scintillating material at least partially surrounded by an optical waveguide material; and a photosensing element optically coupled to the neutron sensing element. The photons emitted from the neutron sensing element are collected and channeled through the optical waveguide material and into the photosensing element. | 09-16-2010 |
20100276602 | RADIATION DETECTOR WITH OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE AND NEUTRON SCINTILLATING MATERIAL - A radiation detector includes a neutron sensing element comprising a neutron scintillating composite material that emits a first photon having a first wavelength and an optical waveguide material having a wavelength-shifting dopant dispersed therein that absorbs the first photon emitted by the neutron scintillating composite material and emits a second photon having a second, different wavelength, and a functionalized reflective layer at an interface between the neutron scintillating composite material and the optical waveguide material. The functionalized reflective layer allows the first photon emitted by the neutron scintillating composite material to pass through and into the optical waveguide material, but prevents the second photon emitted by the optical waveguide material from passing through and into the neutron scintillating composite material. The photons emitted from the neutron sensing element are collected and channeled through the optical waveguide material and into a photosensing element optically coupled to the neutron sensing element. | 11-04-2010 |

20100278727 | Alpha-Emitting constructs and uses thereof - The present invention discloses alpha particle emitting, radioactive constructs capable of killing large tumors (>1 mm in diameter), or other cells involved in human or animal diseases such as virus infected cells, autoimmune cells, or other pathological cells, including normal cells, that are targets for destruction, to achieve a therapeutic result. The alpha-emitting constructs have high specific activity. | 11-04-2010 |
20130295008 | Alpha Emitting Constructs and Uses Thereof - The present invention discloses methods for treating non-malignant cell diseases by administering to an individual a construct comprising actinium-225 or bismuth-213 and an antigen of a non-malignant cell. Also, provided is a method for treating a solid tumor associated with an abnormal proliferation of cells by targeting an antigen of the tumor-associated vasculature with the constructs. | 11-07-2013 |
20140086831 | Single Wall Nanotube Constructs and Uses Thereof - The present invention provides soluble single wall nanotube (SWNT) constructs functionalized with a plurality of a targeting moiety and a plurality of one or more payload molecules attached thereto. The targeting moiety and the payload molecules may be attached to the soluble SWNT via a DNA or other oligomer platform attached to the SWNT. These soluble SWNT constructs may comprise a radionuclide or contrast agent and as such are effective as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Methods provided herein are to diagnosing or locating a cancer, treating a cancer, eliciting an immune response against a cancer or delivering an anticancer drug in situ via an enzymatic nanofactory using the soluble SWNT constructs. | 03-27-2014 |
20140308203 | Targeted Self-Assembly of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes on Tumors - Provided herein are methods for delivering a molecule in situ to a cell and for treating a cancer via the in situ delivery. The methods comprise contacting or administering to the cell, as two separate components, a morpholino oligonucleotide comprising a targeting moiety followed by a single wall nanotube construct comprising second morpholino oligonucleotides complementary to the first morpholino oligonucleotides and one or both of a therapeutic or diagnostic payload molecule linked to the single wall nanotube construct. Upon self-assembly of a single wall nanotube complex via hybridization of the first morpholino and second complementary morpholino oligonucleotides at the cell, the payload molecule is delivered. Also provided is the two component self-assembly single wall nanotube system and the single wall nanotube construct comprising the second component. | 10-16-2014 |
