    • Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer — A Review 

      Raju, Richu; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2023-06-25)
      Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood–brain ...

    • Nanoparticle-based materials in anticancer drug delivery: Current and future prospects 

      Ajith, Saniha Aysha; Almomani, Fares; Elhissi, Abdelbary; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Photo-Induced Drug Release from Polymeric Micelles and Liposomes: Phototriggering Mechanisms in Drug-Delivery Systems 

      Salkho, Najla; Awad, Nahid S.; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022)
      Chemotherapeutic drugs are highly effective in treating cancer. However, the side effects associated with this treatment lower the quality of life of cancer patients. Smart nanocarriers are able to encapsulate these drugs ...

    • Recent Advances in Nanoparticle-Based Co-Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy 

      Al Bostami, Rouba D.; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022-08)
      Cancer therapies have advanced tremendously throughout the last decade, yet multiple factors still hinder the success of the different cancer therapeutics. The traditional therapeutic approach has been proven insufficient ...

    • Review on Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery with a Focus on Ultrasound 

      Moussa, Hesham Gamal; Martins, Ana M.; Husseini, Ghaleb (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, ...

    • Ultrasound-responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Treatment: a review 

      Awad, Nahid S.; Paul, Vinod; Haar, Gail ter; Allen, Theresa M.; Pitt, William G.; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes 

      Ahmed, Salma E.; Martins, Ana M.; Husseini, Ghaleb (Taylor & Francis, 2014)
      Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ...
