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 ...

Kinetics, in silico docking, molecular dynamics, and MM-GBSA binding studies on prototype indirubins, KT5720, and staurosporine as phosphorylase kinase ATP-binding site inhibitors: The role of water molecules examined
(2011)With an aim toward glycogenolysis control in Type 2 diabetes, we have investigated via kinetic experiments and computation the potential of indirubin (IC 50 > 50 μM), indirubin-3'-oxime (IC 50 = 144 nM), KT5720 (K i = 18.4 ...

Physical constraints on charge transport through bacterial nanowires
(2012)Extracellular appendages of the dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 were recently shown to sustain currents of 10 10 electrons per second over distances of 0.5 microns [El-Naggar et al., Proc. ...

Regional aerosol deposition in the human airways: The SimInhale benchmark case and a critical assessment of in silico methods
(2018)Regional deposition effects are important in the pulmonary delivery of drugs intended for the topical treatment of respiratory ailments. They also play a critical role in the systemic delivery of drugs with limited lung ...
