• Biodistribution of Poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) Nanoparticles in Mice and Effect on Tumor Infiltration of Macrophages into a Patient-Derived Breast Cancer Xenograft 

      Pandya, Abhilash D.; Iversen, Tore Geir; Moestue, Siver Andreas; Grinde, Maria Tunset; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Snipstad, Sofie; Åslund, Andreas; Øy, Geir Frode; Kildal, Wanja; Engebråten, Olav; Sandvig, Kirsten; Skotland, Tore; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We have investigated the biodistribution and tumor macrophage infiltration after intravenous injection of the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles (NPs): PEBCA (poly(2-ethyl-butyl cyanoacrylate), PBCA (poly(n-butyl ...
    • Cabazitaxel-loaded Poly(2-ethylbutyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles improve treatment efficacy in a patient derived breast cancer xenograft 

      Fusser, Markus; Øverbye, Anders; Pandya, Abhilash D.; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Borgos, Sven Even F.; Kildal, Wanja; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Fleten, Karianne Giller; Askautrud, Hanne Arenberg; Engebraaten, Olav; Flatmark, Kjersti; Iversen, Tore Geir; Sandvig, Kirsten; Skotland, Tore; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The effect of poly(2-ethyl-butyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles containing the cytotoxic drug cabazitaxel was studied in three breast cancer cell lines and one basal-like patient-derived xenograft model grown in the mammary ...
    • Cytotoxicity of poly(Alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles 

      Sulheim, Einar; Iversen, Tore Geir; To, Vu; Klinkenberg, Geir; Sletta, Håvard; Schmid, Ruth; Hatletveit, Anne Rein; Wågbø, Ane Marit; Sundan, Anders; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Although nanotoxicology has become a large research field, assessment of cytotoxicity is often reduced to analysis of one cell line only. Cytotoxicity of nanoparticles is complex and should, preferentially, be evaluated ...
    • Exogenous lysophospholipids with large head groups perturb clathrin-mediated endocytosis 

      Ailte, Ieva; Lingelem, Anne Berit Dyve; Kvalvaag, Audun Sverre Myrset; Kavaliauskiene, Simona; Brech, Andreas; Koster, Gerbrand; Dommersnes, Paul Gunnar; Bergan, Jonas; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      In this study, we have investigated how clathrin-dependent endocytosis is affected by exogenously added lysophospholipids (LPLs). Addition of LPLs with large head groups strongly inhibits transferrin (Tf ) endocytosis in ...
    • Small variations in nanoparticle structure dictate differential cellular stress responses and mode of cell death 

      Szwed, Marzena; Sønstevold, Tonje; Øverbye, Anders; Engedal, Nikolai; Grallert, Beata; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Sulheim, Einar; Iversen, Tore Geir; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten; Torgersen, Maria Lyngaas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      For optimal exploitation of nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine, and to predict nanotoxicity, detailed knowledge of the cellular responses to cell-bound or internalized NPs is imperative. The final outcome of NP-cell ...
