Investigating the Stability of eLiposomes at Elevated Temperatures
(Sage Publishing, 2014)
eLiposomes encapsulate a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion droplet inside a liposome. Ultrasound is then used as a trigger mechanism to vaporize the perfluorocarbon, break the liposome, and release the desired drug to the tumor ...
A case study of a college-wide first-year undergraduate engineering course
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Introductory engineering courses are either programme specific or expose students to engineering as a broad discipline by including materials from various engineering programmes. A common introductory engineering course ...
Incorporating Computer-Aided Software in the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Core Courses
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2014)
Introductions of computer-aided software and simulators are implemented during the sophomore-year of the chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). Our faculty concurs that software ...
The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(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 ...
Investigating the Release Mechanism of Calcein from eLiposomes at Higher Temperatures
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014)
Numerous nanocarriers are currently being investigated as drug delivery vehicles for transporting chemotherapeutics to cancer cells. Our research group has recently synthesized a new generation of echogenic liposomes based ...
