      Benefits of vascular normalization are dose and time dependent - Letter 

      Huang, Y.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Duda, D. G.; Fukumura, D.; Jain, R. K. (2013)
    • Article  

      Cationic nanoparticles have superior transvascular flux into solid tumors: Insights from a mathematical model 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Soteriou, K.; Fukumura, D.; Jain, R. K. (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 ...

      Design rules for cancer nanomedicines 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Soteriou, K.; Fukumura, D.; Jain, R. K. (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Radiation Oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Stylianopoulos, T.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2012)
      The use of nanotechnology has offered new hope for cancer detection, prevention and treatment. Nanoparticle formulations are advantageous over conventional chemotherapy because they can incorporate multiple diagnostic and ...

      Multistage nanoparticle delivery system for deep penetration into tumor tissue 

      Wong, C.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Cui, J.; Martin, J.; Chauhan, V. P.; Jiang, W.; Popovic, Z.; Jain, R. K.; Bawendi, M. G.; Fukumura, D. (2011)
      Current Food and Drug Administration-approved cancer nanotherapeutics, which passively accumulate around leaky regions of the tumor vasculature because of an enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect, have provided ...

      Multistage nanoparticles for improved delivery into tumor tissue 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Wong, C.; Bawendi, M. G.; Jain, R. K.; Fukumura, D. (2012)
      The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been a key rationale for the development of nanoscale carriers to solid tumors. As a consequence of EPR, nanotherapeutics are expected to improve drug and detection ...

      Normalization of tumour blood vessels improves the delivery of nanomedicines in a size-dependent manner 

      Chauhan, V. P.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Martin, J. D.; PopoviÄ, Z.; Chen, O.; Kamoun, W. S.; Bawendi, M. G.; Fukumura, D.; Jain, R. K. (2012)
      The blood vessels of cancerous tumours are leaky and poorly organized. This can increase the interstitial fluid pressure inside tumours and reduce blood supply to them, which impairs drug delivery. Anti-angiogenic ...

      Scaling rules for diffusive drug delivery in tumor and normal tissues 

      Baish, J. W.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Lanning, R. M.; Kamoun, W. S.; Fukumura, D.; Munn, L. L.; Jain, R. K. (2011)
      Delivery of blood-borne molecules and nanoparticles from the vasculature to cells in the tissue differs dramatically between tumor and normal tissues due to differences in their vascular architectures. Here we show that ...
