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 ... -
Doxorubicin-encapsulated Albumin liposomes with acoustic triggering for cancer treatment
(2019-05)With cancer being the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing economic and social resources are being directed by researchers and healthcare professionals to treat the disease, or at least provide palliative care to ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Light-Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) For Doxorubicin Controlled Release
(2023-04)The life cycle of human cells involves growth, divisions, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, DNA damage can cause some cells to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. While chemotherapy is an effective ... -
Lipsome-coated metal organic frameworks as a new drug nanocarrier
(2019-12)Cancer has emerged to become one of the predominant diseases ever known to humanity, with chemotherapeutic agents as leading methods for treating it. However, this blind-sighted treatment method that targets all cells; ... -
Microwave Triggered Release of Doxorubicin from Metal-organic Frameworks
(2022-11)Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidates for a variety of applications based on their remarkable properties such as high surface area and porosity. A substantial number of studies have been conducted to examine ... -
Modeling of In vitro Release Kinetics of Ultrasound-triggered Targeted Liposomes
(2022-04)Ultrasound-triggered, targeted liposomes are a promising drug delivery system as they potentially improve the clinical outcomes of chemotherapy while reducing associated side effects. However, the common drug release models ... -
A Novel Cancer Treatment Platform Utilizing HER2-Immunoliposomes and Ultrasound
(2020-05)Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the most common approaches to destroy cancer cells is via chemotherapy treatment, in which ... -
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 triggered release of Trastuzumab-conjugated immunoliposomes targeting breast cancer
(2018-12)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in this era. Since conventional treatment has many side effects, its use is limited, which augments the need for new smart drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers, capable of ... -
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 ...
