      Delivery of molecular and nanoscale medicine to tumors: Transport barriers and strategies 

      Chauhan, V. P.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Boucher, Y.; Jain, R. K. (2011)
      Tumors are similar to organs, with unique physiology giving rise to an unusual set of transport barriers to drug delivery. Cancer therapy is limited by nonuniform drug delivery via blood vessels, inhomogeneous drug transport ...

      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 ...

      Mechanical stress regulates tissue oxygenation, cancer cell proliferation and drug delivery during progression of solid tumors 

      Mpekris, F.; Angeli, S.; Pirentis, A. P.; Stylianopoulos, T. (Springer Verlag, 2016)
      Oxygen supply plays a central role in cancer cell proliferation. While vascular density increases at the early stages of carcinogenesis, mechanical solid stresses developed during growth compress tumor blood vessels and, ...

      Stress-mediated progression of solid tumors: effect of mechanical stress on tissue oxygenation, cancer cell proliferation, and drug delivery 

      Mpekris, F.; Angeli, S.; Pirentis, A. P.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2015)
      Oxygen supply plays a central role in cancer cell proliferation. While vascular density increases at the early stages of carcinogenesis, mechanical solid stresses developed during growth compress tumor blood vessels and, ...
