Article
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 ...

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