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 ... -
The Effect of Ultrasound on the Drug Delivery of RGD-Targeted Liposomes
(2018-05)Approaches used to treat cancer, with the most prominent being chemotherapy, have detrimental effects on patients’ health. Doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, alters normal cellular functions and can cause many fatal ... -
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; ... -
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 ... -
Preparation of albumin-targeted liposomes and the study of their release characteristics using ultrasound
(2016-01)The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the enhancement of drug delivery using targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound. In this thesis, a thorough literature review on cancer and drug delivery systems ... -
Ultrasound Triggered Release of Estrone- Targeted Liposomes
(2017-05)The fight against cancer has proven to be a lengthy one. Conventional treatment of cancer usually involves chemotherapy, a therapy known for its detrimental side effects. Doxorubicin, a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic, ... -
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 ... -
Using Lactose and Ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutics
(2019-05)As the number of cancer patients increase, so does the number of patients that undergo chemotherapy, as well as the suffering, caused by its side effects. To solve this adversity, an innovative form of delivering ...
