Investigating the Fluorescence Quenching of Doxorubicin in Folic Acid Solutions and Its Relation to Ligand-Targeted Nanocarriers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
Folic acid (FA) is one of the most utilized moieties in active (ligand) drug delivery. The folate receptor is widely expressed on the surface of several cell lines and tumors; including ovarian, brain, kidney, breast, and ...
Saturation Loadings on 13X (Faujasite) Zeolite above and below the Critical Conditions, Part I: Alkane Data Evaluation and Modeling
(Springer, 2015)
The saturation loadings for subcritical adsorption of n-, iso- and neo alkanes C1 –C8 in 13X zeolite are modeled using the modified Rackett model of Spencer and Danner (1972) for the saturated liquid densities combined ...
Synergistic Nanomedicine: Passive, Active, and Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
Nanocarriers are heavily researched as drug delivery vehicles capable of sequestering antineoplastic agents and then releasing their contents at the desired location. The feasibility of using such carriers stems from their ...
Review on Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery with a Focus on Ultrasound
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2015)
Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients. To avoid these adverse effects, nanocarriers have been developed, which can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents, ...
Predicting the Release of Chemotherapeutics From the Core of Polymeric Micelles Using Ultrasound
(IEEE Explore, 2015)
In this paper, the estimation of acoustic drug release from micelles is addressed. The release is measured as a decrease in fluorescence once ultrasound is applied. Initially, a Kalman filter is used to fuse the drug ...
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 ...
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 ...
Technique for Drug and Gene Delivery to the Cell Cytosol
(2015-04-07)
Provided herein is a composition, a method, and a system for delivering a functional molecule to the cytosol of a cell, comprising a liposome configured to be taken into a cell, including by a process selected from the ...
