Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of light-emitting, water soluble nanoparticles in the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system.
Claims8
A method for treating a disorder of the central nervous system in a subject suffering from a central nervous system injury, such method comprising:
- a) activating synthetic, light-emitting, water soluble nanoparticles to create activated light-emitting nanoparticles;
- and
- b) administering to said subject a composition comprising said activated light-emitting nanoparticles;
- wherein the activated light-emitting nanoparticles emit light in the infra-red or near infra-red spectrum.
1 more element
A method for treating or preventing oxidative damage to mitochondria following reperfusion in a subject suffering from a central nervous system injury, such method comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising activated synthetic, light-emitting, water-soluble nanoparticles,
- wherein, synthetic, light-emitting, water-soluble nanoparticles are activated prior to administration to create said activated synthetic, light-emitting, water-soluble nanoparticles;
- and
- wherein said activated synthetic, light-emitting, water-soluble nanoparticles emit light in the infra-red or near infra-red spectrum.
