Figure 6

Evaluating the presence of TMR-PSiNPs in the injured vs. uninjured spinal cords by XPS. High-resolution XPS surface deconvolution analysis of Si 2p was used to verify the existence of silica nanoparticles on (a) crush-injured cord tissue and (b) uninjured cord located at site #2. Note that the compression injury increased the level of silica, identifying a precise targeting toward injured regions.
