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 ...
Bioluminescence Imaging Applications in Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
(IEEE, 2020)
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), an optical preclinical imaging modality, is an invaluable imaging modality due to its low-cost, high throughput, fast acquisition times, and functional imaging capabilities. BLI is being ...
Targeting Breast Cancer Using Hyaluronic Acid-Conjugated Liposomes Triggered with Ultrasound
(American Science Publishers, 2021)
The successful targeting of tumors can be achieved by conjugating targeting moieties to nanoparticles. These modifications allow nannocarriers to achieve greater targeting specificity through binding to specific receptors ...
Immunoliposomes: Synthesis, Structure, and Their Potential as Drug Delivery Carriers
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Immunoliposomes have emerged as attractive drug targeting vehicles for cancer treatment. This review presents the recent advances in the design of immunoliposomes encapsulating a variety of chemotherapeutic agents. We ...
The effect of pegylation and targeting moieties on the ultrasound-mediated drug release from liposomes
(ACS Publications, 2019)
The use of targeted liposomes encapsulating chemotherapy drugs enhances the specific targeting of cancer cells, thus, reducing the side effects of these agents and providing a more patient-friendly treatment. Targeted ...
Carbohydrate-Functionalized Liposomes In Cancer Therapy
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Existing cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects that can greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients; this sets the platform for the development and application of nanocarrier-based ...
Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ...
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs as Promising Therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 by Regulating the EGFR-ADAM17 Axis: An In Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
Cancer patients contracting SARS-CoV-2 encounter additional challenges due to inflammatory bursts and lymphopenia, which may aggravate breast cancer prognosis. In this in-silico analysis, we identified the potential of ...
Identification of Novel MicroRNAs Targeting SARS-CoV-2 through the Regulation of TMPRSS2/PI3K/AKT/PTEN Alignment in Lung Cancer: An in Silico Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
In this study, we investigated the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and miRNAs associated with lung cancer using bioinformatic approaches. A special focus was placed on TMPRSS2 and lung cancer progression pathways involving ...
