    • Effect of phospholipid head group on ultrasound‑triggered drug release and cellular uptake of immunoliposomes 

      Awad, Nahid S.; Paul, Vinod; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Incorporating nanoparticles in 3D printed scaffolds for bone cancer therapy 

      AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes 

      Hamidu, Aisha; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Scaffold‑based 3D cell culture models in cancer research 

      Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Pitt, William G.; Husseini, Ghaleb (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 ...

    • Ultrasound-Mediated Cancer Therapeutics Delivery using Micelles and Liposomes: A Review 

      Mukhopadhyay, Debasmita; Sano, Catherine; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Paul, Vinod; El-Awadi, Rafat; Husseini, Ghaleb (Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)
      Nanoparticles have proven promising as cancer theranostic tools. Nanoparticles are selective in nature, have reduced toxicity, and controllable drug release patterns making them ideal carriers for anticancer drugs. Numerous ...

    • Ultrasound‑triggered herceptin liposomes for breast cancer therapy 

      Elamir, Amal; Ajith, Saniha Aysha; AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Abuwatfa, Waad Hussein; Mukhopadhyay, Debasmita; Paul, Vinod; Al-Sayah, Mohammad; Awad, Nahid S.; Husseini, Ghaleb (Nature, 2021)
      The functionalization of liposomes with monoclonal antibodies is a potential strategy to increase the specificity of liposomes and reduce the side-effects associated with chemotherapeutic agents. The active targeting of ...
