A Review on Membrane Fouling Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
(MDPI, 2023-07-24)
Membrane fouling is a major hurdle to effective pressure-driven membrane processes, such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). Fouling refers to the accumulation of ...
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)
Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ...
Transferrin-Targeted Liposomes in Glioblastoma Therapy: A Review
(MDPI, 2026-08-26)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, and its treatment is further complicated by the high selectivity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The scientific community is urgently seeking innovative and effective ...
Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes
(MDPI, 2023)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Because each person’s cancer may be unique, diagnosing and treating cancer is challenging. Advances in nanomedicine have made it possible to detect tumors and quickly ...
Effect of phospholipid head group on ultrasound‑triggered drug release and cellular uptake of immunoliposomes
(Nature, 2023)
Liposomes are the most successful nanoparticles used to date to load and deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells. They are nano-sized vesicles made up of phospholipids, and targeting moieties can be added to their ...
Folic Acid Quenches Doxorubicin Fluorescence Letter to the Editor
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)
Impact of Ionic Strength and Charge Density on Donnan Potential in the NaCl-Cation Exchange Membrane System
(MDPI, 2023)
This work aims to theoretically investigate the effect of both the fixed charge density of ion exchange membranes and the ionic strength of the treated aqueous NaCl solution on the generated Donnan potential at thermodynamic ...
Incorporating nanoparticles in 3D printed scaffolds for bone cancer therapy
(Elsevier, 2023)
The low occurrence rate of bone cancer contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment; in addition, the surgical resection of bone tumors can cause significant bone defects, further hindering the effective treatment of the ...
Scaffold‑based 3D cell culture models in cancer research
(Springer Nature, 2024)
Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures have emerged as valuable tools in cancer research, offering significant advantages over traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems. In 3D cell cultures, cancer cells are grown ...
Toxicological impact of nanoparticles on human health: A review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing industry where nanomaterials are used in almost every field, including electronics, cosmetics, engineering, household products, biotechnology and medicine. Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique ...
