Engineering of nanoparticle size via electrohydrodynamic jetting
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-03)
Engineering the physical properties of particles, especially their size, is an important parameter in the fabrication of successful carrier systems for the delivery of therapeutics. Here, various routes were explored for ...
Sufficient Condition for Local Invertibility of Spatio-Temporal 4D B-Spline Deformations
(IEEE, 2010-04-14)
Recent advances in medical imaging technologies have made 4D image sequences available in clinical routine. As a consequence, image registration techniques are evolving from alignment of pairs of static volumetric images ...
Size-tunable synthesis of stable superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for potential biomedical applications
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03-15)
Dextran-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have widespread biomedical applications. The superparamagnetic behavior, specifically regulated size, and smooth morphology are crucial requirements for essentially all ...
Characterizing natural hydrogel for reconstruction of three‐dimensional lymphoid stromal network to model T‐cell interactions
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-08)
Hydrogels have been used in regenerative medicine because they provide a three‐dimensional environment similar to soft tissues, allow diffusion of nutrients, present critical biological signals, and degrade via endogenous ...
Evaluation of receptorâ ligand mechanisms of dualâ targeted particles to an inflamed endothelium
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-03)
Vascularâ targeted carriers (VTCs) are designed as leukocyte mimics, decorated with ligands that target leukocyte adhesion molecules (LAMs) and facilitate adhesion to diseased endothelium. VTCs require different design ...
Investigations of the Cavitation and Damage Thresholds of Histotripsy and Applications in Targeted Tissue Ablation.
(2015)
Histotripsy is a noninvasive ultrasound therapy that controls acoustic cavitation to mechanically fractionate soft tissue. This dissertation investigates the physical thresholds to initiate cavitation and produce tissue ...
Methods for MRI RF Pulse Design and Image Reconstruction.
(2014)
This thesis describes methods to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction and system calibration, namely, B1 field mapping which is to measure the spatial distribution of the magnetic field produced by ...
The Impact of the Plasma Protein Corona on the Adhesion Efficiency of Drug Carriers to the Blood Vessel Wall.
(2016)
Upon injection of vascular-targeted drug carriers into the bloodstream, plasma proteins rapidly coat the carrier surface, forming a plasma protein corona. This corona is dependent on a host of parameters, including ...
Joint Estimation of Image and Fieldmap in Parallel MRI Using Single-Shot Acquisitions
(IEEE, 2010-04-14)
We propose a method for joint reconstruction of dynamic images and fieldmaps in parallel MRI, using single-shot trajectories. We exploit the sensitivity encoding from parallel imaging to reduce the length of acquisition ...
Pressure responsive nanogel base on Alginate‐Cyclodextrin with enhanced apoptosis mechanism for colon cancer delivery
(McGraw‐Hill PublishingWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-02)
5‐Fluorouracil (5‐Fu) commonly use in the treatment of different kinds of cancer, but limited cellular uptake and death is still a problem. Herein, we report a simple process for the synthesis of pressure‐sensitive nanogels ...
