Functionalized Metal Organic Frameworks For Chemotherapy Drug Delivery
(2020-11)
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, and can be treated by various methods or sometimes a combination of different treatments. Chemotherapy is one of the conventional methods of treatment. Although it is effective ...
Acoustically activated release of estrone-targeted liposomes used for breast cancer treatment
(2016-01)
Chemotherapy is frequently used in cancer treatment. However, side effects associated with this type of treatment are often detrimental to the patient's health. This thesis discusses a novel approach of delivering a cytotoxic ...
The Use of Transferrin and Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(2019-05)
Site-specific drug delivery represents an attractive approach in cancer treatment to reduce the undesirable side-effects of anticancer therapeutics and increase the accumulation of drugs at tumor sites. Surface modification ...
In Vitro Cell Work of Two Types of Targeted Nanoparticles with Ultrasound Triggering
(2020-11)
Targeted liposomes have shown promising potential as effective chemotherapeutics delivery vehicles in Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). Upon accumulation and internalization at the tumor site, the liposomes need to be ...
Ultrasound triggered drug delivery of transferrin coupled liposomes carrying the drug doxorubicin
(2020-06)
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st century. It is caused by the uncontrolled division of damaged and mutated cells. Several methods have been developed to combat cancer, including surgery, radiation, and ...
Ultrasound-Induced Calcein Release From eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2012)
Ultrasound is explored as a method of inducing the release of encapsulated materials from eLiposomes, defined as liposomes containing emulsion droplets. Emulsions were formed using perfluorohexane and perfluoropentane. ...
Synthesis of Metal-Organic Framework from Iron Nitrate and 2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid and Its Application as Drug Carrier
(American Scientific Publishers, 2018)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly crystalline porous organic–inorganic materials that are comprised of metal salts and organic linkers. The common synthetic methodologies of MOFs include: solvothermal, microwave-assisted, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
