Rapid and convenient method for preparing masters for microcontact printing with 1–12 mm features
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2004)
Mechanical scribing can be employed to create surfaces with recessed features. Through replica molding elastomeric copies of these scribed surfaces are created that function as stamps for microcontact printing. It is shown ...
Self-aligned mechanical attachment of carbon nanotubes to silicon dioxide structures by selective silicon dioxide chemical-vapor deposition
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2003)
A self-aligned thin-film deposition technique was developed to mechanically attach carbon nanotubes to surfaces for the fabrication of structurally robust nanotube-based nanomechanical devices. Single-walled carbon nanotubes ...
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)
The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ...
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. ...
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 ...
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)
Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ...
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 ...
Role of frequency and mechanical index in ultrasonic-enhanced chemotherapy in rats
(Springer, 2009)
Purpose The therapeutic effect of ultrasound and micellar-encapsulated doxorubicin was studied in vivo using a tumor-bearing rat model with emphasis on how tumor growth rate is affected by ultrasonic parameters such as ...
Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
Drug delivery research employing micelles and nanoparticles has expanded in recent years. Of particular interest is the use of these nanovehicles that deliver high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs to diseased tissues ...
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 ...
