Challenging metastatic breast cancer with the natural defensin PvD1


Tiago N. Figueira, Filipa D. Oliveira, Inês Almeida, Érica O. Mello, Valdirene M. Gomes, Miguel A. R. B. Castanho and Diana Gaspar
Nanoscale, 2017,9, 16887-16899

Abstract

PvD1 hampers brain metastasis development by manipulating the biomechanical properties of tumor cells and preventing their adhesion to the blood–brain-barrier.


Overcoming blood–brain barrier by HER2-targeted nanosystem to suppress glioblastoma cell migration, invasion and tumor growth


Zhenhuan Song, Ting Liu and Tianfeng Chen
J. Mater. Chem. B, 2018,6, 568-579

Abstract

Herein we synthesize an HER2 antibody-conjugated selenium nanoparticle platform can efficiently deliver both therapeutic agents and diagnostic agents (superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) across the BBB into the tumor tissues and enhances their effects on brain tumor treatment and MR imaging.


IMM-H004, a coumarin derivative, attenuated brain ischemia/reperfusion injuries and subsequent inflammation in spontaneously hypertensive rats through inhibition of VCAM-1


Peng-Fei Yang, Xiu-Yun Song, Ting Zeng, Qi-Di Ai, Dan-Dan Liu, Wei Zuo, Shuai Zhang, Cong-Yuan Xia, Xin He and Nai-Hong Chen
RSC Adv., 2017,7, 27480-27495

Abstract

We studied the effect of IMM-H004 in treating brain I/R injury in spontaneously hypertensive rats and showed that IMM-H004 could efficiently ameliorate neurological defects and infarct volume in a time and dose dependent manner.


Label-free characterization of biochemical changes within human cells under parasite attack using synchrotron based micro-FTIR


Hany M. Elsheikha, Nashwa A. Elsaied, K. L. Andrew Chan, Chris Brignell, Mohammad S. R. Harun, Katia Wehbe and G. Cinquee
Anal. Methods, 2019,11, 2518-2530

Abstract

Label-free chemical profiling identifies macromolecules significantly associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection in cerebrovascular endothelial cells.


Engineered nanoparticles for systemic siRNA delivery to malignant brain tumours


Johan Karlsson, Yuan Rui, Kristen L. Kozielski, Amanda L. Placone, Olivia Choi, Stephany Y. Tzeng, Jayoung Kim, Jamal J. Keyes, Max I. Bogorad, Kathleen Gabrielson, Hugo Guerrero-Cazares, Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, Peter C. Searson and Jordan J. Green
Nanoscale, 2019,11, 20045-20057

Abstract

Bioreducible nanoparticles were engineered for safe and effective systemic siRNA delivery, including crossing the blood–brain barrier to achieve in vivo gene silencing in an orthotopic glioblastoma mouse model.
