| Abstract | In this work, we report the synthesis of dye-loaded and folic acid (FA)-conjugated organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles as targeted optical nanoprobes for in vitro and in vivo imaging. The dye-loaded ORMOSIL (ORMD) nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile aqueous phase (oil-in-water microemulsion) approach and they have an average size of 30 nm. We observed that the functionalization of FA onto the particle surface led to a strong cellular uptake of FA-conjugated ORMD nanoparticles for pancreatic cancer Miapaca-2 cells and hepatoma SMMC7721 cells with FA receptor overexpression. Such a trend is not observed for 293T cells and breast cancer MCF7 cells as these cells possess low-expression of the FA receptor. The in vivo imaging studies demonstrate that FA-ORMD nanoparticles are preferentially accumulated in tumor sites. Histological studies reveal that no-ill effects are observed in the major organs of treated mice when compared to the untreated ones. Because of the facile synthesis process, high specificity for tumor targeting and low toxicity of FA-ORMD nanoparticles, significant potential for early-cancer detection application is expected. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
