Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ... -
Further investigation of the mechanism of Doxorubicin release from P105 micelles using kinetic models
(Elsevier, 2006)The kinetics of the release of Doxorubicin from Pluronic P105 micelles during ultrasonication and its subsequent re-encapsulation upon cessation of insonation were investigated. Four mechanisms are proposed to explain the ... -
The Comet Assay to Determine the Mode of Cell Death for the Ultrasonic Delivery of Doxorubicin to Human Leukemia (HL-60 Cells) from Pluronic P105 Micelles
(Adenine Press, 2005)This notes examines the mode of cell death of HL-60 cells exposed to 70 kHz and 1.3 W/cm2 ultrasound in the presence of 1% Pluronic P105 and 1.67 μg/ml doxorubicin (Dox). The cells were ultrasonicated for 30, 60, and 120 ... -
The role of cavitation in acoustically activated drug delivery
(Elsevier Science Direct, 2005)Pluronic P105 micelles are potential candidates as chemotherapy drug delivery vehicles using ultrasonic stimulation as a release trigger. Acoustic power has been previously shown to release two anthracycline agents from ... -
Efficient Immobilization of a Cadmium Chemosensor in a Thin Film: Generation of a Cadmium Sensor Prototype
(American Chemical Society, 2005)The development of an ion-selective chemosensor for Cd2+ allows generation of a “real-time” sensor. Immobilization of the chemosensor on quartz was achieved in a simple monolayer and in a thin film using a polymer intermediary. ...
