Ultrasonically triggered drug delivery: Breaking the barrier
(Elsevier, 2014)
The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive method of accomplishing such precise ...
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)
Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ...
Green Nanotechnology—A Road Map to Safer Nanomaterials
(Woodhead Publishing, 2018)
Nanotechnology has remained at the forefront of scientific research for the past few decades due to its outstanding properties and associated applications. The unlimited potential of nanomaterials have already influenced ...
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)
The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ...
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ...
Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)
Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ...
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ...
Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ...
Ultrasound-triggered Release from Micelles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
Rapid Separation of Bacteria from Blood - Review and Outlook
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), 2016)
The high morbidity and mortality rate of bloodstream infections involving antibiotic‐resistant bacteria necessitate a rapid identification of the infectious organism and its resistance profile. Traditional methods based ...
