    • Thermosensitive Polymers and Thermo-Responsive Liposomal Drug Delivery Systems 

      Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Awad, Nahid S.; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022)
      Temperature excursions within a biological milieu can be effectively used to induce drug release from thermosensitive drug-encapsulating nanoparticles. Oncological hyperthermia is of particular interest, as it is proven ...

    • Transferrin-Targeted Liposomes in Glioblastoma Therapy: A Review 

      Kawak, Paul S.; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2026-08-26)
      Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, and its treatment is further complicated by the high selectivity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The scientific community is urgently seeking innovative and effective ...

    • Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy 

      Awad, Nahid S.; Paul, Vinod; Al-Sayah, Mohammad; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Ultrasound Triggering of Liposomal Nanodrugs for Cancer Therapy: A Review 

      Bahutair, Wafa N.; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022)
      Efficient conventional chemotherapy is limited by its nonspecific nature, which causes severe systemic toxicity that can lead to patient discomfort and low therapeutic efficacy. The emergence of smart drug delivery systems ...

    • Ultrasound-Mediated Cancer Therapeutics Delivery using Micelles and Liposomes: A Review 

      Mukhopadhyay, Debasmita; Sano, Catherine; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Paul, Vinod; El-Awadi, Rafat; Husseini, Ghaleb (Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)
      Nanoparticles have proven promising as cancer theranostic tools. Nanoparticles are selective in nature, have reduced toxicity, and controllable drug release patterns making them ideal carriers for anticancer drugs. Numerous ...

    • Ultrasound-sensitive cRGD-modified liposomes as a novel drug delivery system 

      AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Paul, Vinod; Kosaji, Doua Jamal; Khabbaz, Leen; Awad, Nahid S.; Husseini, Ghaleb (Taylor & Francis, 2022)
      Targeted liposomes enable the delivery of encapsulated chemotherapeutics to tumours by targeting specific receptors overexpressed on the surfaces of cancer cells; this helps in reducing the systemic side effects associated ...

    • Ultrasound-Triggered Liposomes Encapsulating Quantum Dots as Safe Fluorescent Markers for Colorectal Cancer 

      Awad, Nahid S.; Haider, Mohamed; Paul, Vinod; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Jagal, Jayalakshmi; Pasricha, Renu; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2021)
      Quantum dots (QDs) are a promising tool to detect and monitor tumors. However, their small size allows them to accumulate in large quantities inside the healthy cells (in addition to the tumor cells), which increases their ...
