Cationic nanoparticles have superior transvascular flux into solid tumors: Insights from a mathematical model
(2013)Despite their great promise, only a few nanoparticle formulations have been approved for clinical use in oncology. The failure of nano-scale drugs to enhance cancer therapy is in large part due to inefficient delivery. To ...

Chaotropic salts interacting with soft matter: Beyond the lyotropic series
(2016)The effects of the chaotropic ions of the Hofmeister series on many systems and phenomena are typically quite pronounced. What happens, however, when one uses chaotropic ions beyond SCN−, ClO4 −, or guanidinium, which are ...

Comparing intracellular stability and targeting of sulfobetaine quantum dots with other surface chemistries in live cells
(2012)The in vivo labeling of intracellular components with quantum dots (QDs) is very limited because of QD aggregation in the cell cytoplasm and/or QD confinement into lysosomal compartments. In order to improve intracellular ...
