      Delivering nanomedicine to solid tumors 

      Jain, R. K.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2010)
      Recent advances in nanotechnology have offered new hope for cancer detection, prevention, and treatment. While the enhanced permeability and retention effect has served as a key rationale for using nanoparticles to treat ...

      Design considerations for nanotherapeutics in oncology 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Jain, R. K. (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 ...

      Formation mechanism of nanotubes comprising layers of PbS nanoparticles in polymer-surfactant solutions 

      Orphanou, M.; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Kyprianidou-Leodidou, Tasoula; Caseri, Walter; Krumeich, F.; Kyriacou, Kyriacos C. (2006)
      The crystallization of PbS in aqueous solutions containing the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hydrophilic polymers resulted in a novel type of metastable nanotubes, the walls of which consist of layers of ...

      In vivo imaging of quantum dots encapsulated in phospholipid micelles 

      Dubertret, B.; Skourides, Paris A.; Norris, D. J.; Brivanlou, A. H.; Libchaber, A.; Noireaux, V. (2002)
      Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) have the potential to revolutionize biological imaging, but their use has been limited by difficulties in obtaining nanocrystals that are biocompatible. To address this ...

      Influence of nanoreactor environment and substrate location on the activity of horseradish peroxidase in olive oil based water-in-oil microemulsions 

      Tzika, Evangelia D.; Christoforou, Maria; Pispas, Stergios; Zervou, Maria; Papadimitriou, Vassiliki; Sotiroudis, Theodore G.; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Xenakis, Aristotelis (2011)
      Oxidative enzymatic reactions using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were carried out in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions composed of olive oil/lecithin/1-propanol/water, a model biomimetic system. The substrates used (gallic ...

      Intein-mediated site-specific conjugation of Quantum Dots to proteins in vivo 

      Charalambous, Anna; Andreou, Maria I.; Skourides, Paris A. (2009)
      We describe an intein based method to site-specifically conjugate Quantum Dots (QDs) to target proteins in vivo. This approach allows the covalent conjugation of any nanostructure and/or nanodevice to any protein and thus ...

      Lead halide perovskites and other metal halide complexes as inorganic capping ligands for colloidal nanocrystals 

      Dirin, D. N.; Dreyfuss, S.; Bodnarchuk, M. I.; Nedelcu, G.; Papagiorgis, Panagiotis; Itskos, Grigorios; Kovalenko, M. V. (2014)
      Lead halide perovskites (CH3NH3PbX3, where X = I, Br) and other metal halide complexes (MXn, where M = Pb, Cd, In, Zn, Fe, Bi, Sb) have been studied as inorganic capping ligands for colloidal nanocrystals. We present the ...

      Localized magnetic fields in arbitrary directions using patterned nanomagnets 

      McNeil, R. P. G.; Schneble, R. J.; Kataoka, M.; Ford, C. J. B.; Kasama, T.; Dunin-Borkowski, R. E.; Feinberg, J. M.; Harrison, R. J.; Barnes, C. H. W.; Tse, D. H. Y.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Bland, J. A. C.; Anderson, D.; Jones, G. A. C.; Pepper, M. (2010)
      Control of the local magnetic fields desirable for spintronics and quantum information technology is not well developed. Existing methods produce either moderately small local fields or one field orientation. We present ...
