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 ... -
The Effects of cRGD Targeting Liposomes When Paired With Ultrasonic Waves on Drug Delivery
(2021-04)Cancer is a leading fatal disease, which has the ability to grow uncontrollably and spread throughout the body of the patient. Several approaches have been used to treat cancer, chemotherapy being the most common treatment ... -
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 ... -
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Use of Ultrasound and Ionic Liquids to Enhance the Extractive Desulfurization of Oils
(2016-12)Desulfurization of diesel oil has been a widely investigated process, due to the detrimental impact on health and the environment caused by sulfur dioxide emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel oil. This has ...
