    • Release of Doxorubicin from Unstabilized and Stabilized Micelles Under the Action of Ultrasound 

      Husseini, Ghaleb; Diaz de la Rosa, Mario A.; Gabuji, Tasneem; Zeng, Yi; Christensen, Douglas A.; Pitt, William G. (American Scientific Publishers, 2007)
      Polymeric micelles are being investigated as chemotherapy drug delivery carriers using ultrasound as a trigger mechanism. The aim of this paper is to measure the release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from the core of unstabilized ...

    • Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment 

      Husseini, Ghaleb; Pitt, William G. (Wiley InterSciences, 2008)
      The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ...

    • Ultrasonically triggered drug delivery: Breaking the barrier 

      Husseini, Ghaleb; Pitt, William G.; Martins, Ana M. (Elsevier, 2014)
      The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive method of accomplishing such precise ...

    • Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review 

      AlSawaftah, Nour Majdi; Husseini, Ghaleb (American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
      The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ...
