| Abstract | We have developed an approach to molecular detection in which a nanoscale object, such as important biological macromolecules, is transduced by a very short (femtosecond) laser pulse into a microscale object directly detectable with ultrasound. We use ultrafast optics to transduce a nanoparticle into a microbubble. Nonlinear absorption of a light pulse, with high peak intensity but negligible pulse energy, produces highly localized disruption via laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB). This process induces a broadband shock wave and a microbubble within the disruption site. Dendrimers are highly branched molecules serving as nearly ideal templates to form dendrimer nanocomposites (DNC). By trapping metallic domains, the LIOB threshold of the organic host in water and tissue can be considerably decreased. Of particular interest are biologically targeted DNCs. A combination of geometric targeting, through precise optical focusing, and biochemical targeting, with these nanoagents, represents a potentially attractive approach for molecular imaging and therapy. We use ultrasonic microscopy to monitor LIOB. Our results suggest that targeted photodisruption can operate in two regimes: one near threshold in which LIOB can be controlled to produce detectable microbubbles with little cellular injury (i.e., minimally invasive); the second at a different set of parameters where LIOB is highly destructive, killing labeled cells for therapy. There are numerous potential medical applications, including the significant problem of squamous cell carcinoma. |

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.
