Biomedical Applications of Metal−Organic Frameworks for Disease Diagnosis and Drug Delivery: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of porous hybrid organic−inorganic materials that have attracted increasing attention over the past decade. MOFs can be used in chemical engineering, materials science, and ... -
Distribution of Doxorubicin in Rats Undergoing Ultrasonic Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2010)Ultrasound (US) increases efficacy of drugs delivered from micelles, but the pharmacokinetics have not been studied previously. In this study, US was used to deliver doxorubicin (Dox) sequestered in micelles in an in vivo ... -
Effect of pH, ultrasound frequency and power density on the release of calcein from stealth liposomes
(De Gruyter, 2016)The use of liposomes as carriers for chemotherapeutic agents in combination with ultrasound as a stimulus to control the time and space of the drug release is a promising approach for cancer treatment, as it can reduce the ... -
Encapsulation and release of calcein from herceptin-conjugated eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2024-03)Achieving an optimal therapeutic level is crucial in effectively eradicating cancer cells during treatment. However, conventional chemotherapy-associated systemic administration of anticancer agents leads to many side ... -
Factors affecting acoustically triggered release of drugs from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2000)A custom ultrasonic exposure chamber with real-time fluorescence detection was used to measure acoustically-triggered drug release from Pluronic P-105 micelles under continuous wave (CW) or pulsed ultrasound in the frequency ... -
Graphene-based drug delivery systems
(Elsevier, 2019)Drug delivery is one of the prominent biomedical applications of graphene nanomaterials in the current scenario. The rapid growth in the graphene-based drug delivery systems showed the potential of this nanomaterial in the ... -
Hybrid liposome/metal–organic framework as a promising dual-responsive nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery
(Elsevier, 2022)In this work, liposome-coated iron (III) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Fe-BTC) metal–organic framework is examined as a promising pH/Ultrasound dual-responsive nanocarriers for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The successful ... -
Liposomes as a Promising Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery System in Cancer Treatment
(Bentham Science, 2017)The initial uses of ultrasound waves in the medical field were limited to the thermal ablation of solid tumors and as a diagnostic tool. Recent advances at the preclinical stage have allowed the use of ultrasound as a ... -
Liposomes in Active, Passive and Acoustically-Triggered Drug Delivery
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Cancer has become one of the most deadly noncommunicable diseases globally. Several modalities used to treat cancer patients exist today yet many have failed to prove high efficacy with low side effects. The most common ... -
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 ... -
Nanoparticle-based materials in anticancer drug delivery: Current and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2023)The past decade has witnessed a breakthrough in novel strategies to treat cancer. One of the most common cancer treatment modalities is chemotherapy which involves administering anti-cancer drugs to the body. However, these ... -
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 ... -
Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes
(MDPI, 2023)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Because each person’s cancer may be unique, diagnosing and treating cancer is challenging. Advances in nanomedicine have made it possible to detect tumors and quickly ... -
Role of frequency and mechanical index in ultrasonic-enhanced chemotherapy in rats
