Fabrication of nanorods by metal evaporation inside the pores of ultra-thin porous alumina templates
(2007)
Porous alumina has attracted a great deal of attention as a template material for the growth of nanowires and nanodots. Typically, the pores have a high aspect ratio, which forbids the use of evaporation techniques for ...
Mathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: Implications for cancer gene therapy
(2009)
Purpose: Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical ...
Broom-like and flower-like heterostructures of silver molybdate through pH controlled self assembly
(2012)
Silver molybdate microrods are selfassembled into micron sized, broom-like and flowerlike structures. Our investigations indicate that through a simple hydrothermal process, large scale production of such structure is ...
Spectroscopic evidence for a pseudogap in the normal state of underdoped high-T(c) superconductors
(1996)
It is well known that BCS mean-field theory is remarkably successful in describing conventional superconductors. A central concept of BCS theory is the energy gap in the electronic excitation spectrum below the superconducting ...
Multistage nanoparticle delivery system for deep penetration into tumor tissue
(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 ...
Computational predictions of the tensile properties of electrospun fibre meshes: Effect of fibre diameter and fibre orientation
(2008)
The mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds are crucial for their efficacy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. At the microscopic scale, the scaffold must be sufficiently rigid to support cell adhesion, ...
Fabrication, characterization, and evaluation in drug release properties of magnetoactive poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(l -lactide) electrospun membranes
(2013)
The fabrication of electrospun magnetoactive fibrous nanocomposite membranes based on the water-soluble and biocompatible poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), the biocompatible and biodegradable poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and preformed ...
Scaling rules for diffusive drug delivery in tumor and normal tissues
(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 ...
Normalization of tumour blood vessels improves the delivery of nanomedicines in a size-dependent manner
(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 ...
Polymeric nanowires and nanopillars fabricated by template wetting
(2013)
Template wetting constitutes a common technique for the fabrication of elongated polymeric nanostructures such as nanorods, nanotubes, and nanowires. It is based on the infiltration of polymeric solutions inside the nanopores ...
