Ultrasound‑triggered herceptin liposomes for breast cancer therapy
(Nature, 2021)
The functionalization of liposomes with monoclonal antibodies is a potential strategy to increase the specificity of liposomes and reduce the side-effects associated with chemotherapeutic agents. The active targeting of ...
Modeling the Effects of Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy on Tumor Growth
(American Scientific Publishers, 2021)
Mathematical modeling has been used to simulate the interaction of chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs intervention with the dynamics of tumor cells growth. This work studies the interaction of cells in the immune system, ...
Environmental Footprint and Economics of a Full-Scale 3D-Printed House
(MDPI, 2021)
3D printing, is a newly adopted technique in the construction sector with the aim to improve the economics and alleviate environmental impacts. This study assesses the eco-efficiency of 3D printing compared to conventional ...
Monitoring Bone Density Using Microwave Tomography of Human Legs: A Numerical Feasibility Study
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
A major cause of bone mass loss worldwide is osteoporosis. X-ray is considered to be the gold-standard technique to diagnose this disease. However, there is currently a need for an alternative modality due to the ionizing ...
Adsorption potentials of iron-based metal–organic framework for methyl orange removal: batch and fixed-bed column studies
(Springer, 2021-01)
In the present work, continuous fixed-bed column and batch studies were undertaken to investigate the efficiency of iron-based metal–organic framework (Fe-BTC) for the removal of methyl orange as a model contaminant from ...
Ultrasound-responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Treatment: a review
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The safe and effective delivery of anticancer agents to diseased tissues is one of the significant challenges in cancer therapy. Conventional anticancer agents are generally cytotoxins with poor pharmacokinetics and ...
A Framework for Assessing Commitment Indicators in Sustainable Development Decisions
(MDPI, 2021)
Numerous decision support systems have been developed to address the decision-making process in organizations. However, there are no developed mechanisms to track commitment down the line to the decisions made by corporate ...
pH and ultrasound dual-responsive drug delivery system based on PEG–folate-functionalized Iron-based metal–organic framework for targeted doxorubicin delivery
(Elsevier, 2021)
In recent years, the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as drug nanocarriers has gained attention because of their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. In this work, dual-responsive iron-based MOFs were ...
