Aerial Oxidation of a VIV-Iminopyridine Hydroquinonate Complex: A Trap for the VIV-Semiquinonate Radical Intermediate
(2015)The reaction of 2,5-bis[N,N′-bis(2-pyridyl-aminomethyl)aminomethyl]-p-hydroquinone (H2bpymah) with VO2+ salts in acetonitrile or water at a low pH (2.2-3.5) results in the isolation of [VIV(O)(Cl)2(μ-bpymah)], the ...

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 ...

Design considerations for nanotherapeutics in oncology
(2015)Nanotherapeutics have improved the quality of life of cancer patients, primarily by reducing the adverse effects of chemotherapeutic agents, but improvements in overall survival are modest. This is in large part due to the ...

The role of mechanical forces in tumor growth and therapy
(2014)Tumors generate physical forces during growth and progression. These physical forces are able to compress blood and lymphatic vessels, reducing perfusion rates and creating hypoxia. When exerted directly on cancer cells, ...
