phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed …

The unique behavior of perfluorocarbons (PFCs), including their high oxygen dissolving
capacity, hydrophobic and lipophobic character, and extreme inertness, derive directly, in a …

Highlights•PFCs efficiently deliver O 2 to tumor tissues, and can alleviate hypoxia.•PFC-
based O 2 nanocarriers increase 1 O 2 lifetime, enhancing PDT/SDT, radiotherapy and …

The basic properties of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and PFC emulsions relevant to their use as
oxygen delivery systems are briefly reviewed. The key issues related to the selection of an …

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) deliver oxygen due to their physical characteristics and the
convective delivery to tissues; this has been amply demonstrated in numerous animal …

Developing biocompatible, synthetic oxygen carriers is a consistently challenging task that
researchers have been pursuing for decades. Perfluorocarbons (PFC) are fascinating …

We report the synthesis and formulation of unique perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsions
enabling intracellular pH measurements in living cells via fluorescent microscopy and flow …

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are fluorinated compounds widely used in the past as oxygen
carriers. They have been the focus of research as contrast agents for ultrasonography and …

A broad array of nanomaterials is available for use as contrast agents for molecular imaging
and drug delivery. Due to the lack of endogenous background signal in vivo and the high …

Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are highly fluorinated, inert organic compounds that can dissolve
large volumes of O2 and other respiratory gases. PFCs are unreactive in the body and …
