Labeling nanoparticles: Dye leakage and altered cellular uptake
Snipstad, Sofie; Hak, Sjoerd; Baghirov, Habib; Sulheim, Einar; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Lelu, Sylvie; von Haartman, Eva; Bäck, Marcus; Nilsson, Peter R; Klymchenko, Andrey S; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange; Åslund, Andreas (Journal article, 2016)In vitro and in vivo behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) is often studied by tracing the NPs with fluorescent dyes. This requires stable incorporation of dyes within the NPs, as dye leakage may give a wrong interpretation of ... -
Mechanisms of Cellular Uptake and Intracellular Degradation of Polymeric Nanoparticles
Sulheim, Einar (Master thesis, 2014)The effect of cancer therapy could be greatly improved by encapsulating existing drugs into nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can facilitate delivery of hydrophobic drugs with poor solubility in water, and allow you to target ... -
Multi-modal characterization of vasculature and nanoparticle accumulation in five tumor xenograft models
Sulheim, Einar; Kim, Jana; van Wamel, Annemieke; Kim, Eugene; Snipstad, Sofie; Vidic, Igor; Grimstad, Ingeborg; Widerøe, Marius; Torp, Sverre Helge; Lundgren, Steinar; Waxman, David J.; Davies, Catharina de Lange (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Preclinical research has demonstrated that nanoparticles and macromolecules can accumulate in solid tumors due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect. However, drug loaded nanoparticles often fail to show increased ... -
Nanomedicine and Sonopermeation in the Treatment of Cancer
Sulheim, Einar (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:98, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Treatment of cancer is an enormous challenge that involves multiple biological barriers and drugs with limited specificity, which makes treatment both ineffective and debilitating to the patient. One of the approaches that ... -
Nanoparticle-stabilized microbubbles for multimodal imaging and drug delivery
Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Hansen, Rune; Berg, Sigrid; Åslund, Andreas; Glomm, Wilhelm; Eggen, Siv; Schmid, Ruth; Johnsen, Heidi; Kubowicz, Stephan; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Hak, Sjoerd; Singh, Gurvinder; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Blom, Hans; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange; Stenstad, Per Martin (Journal article, 2015)Microbubbles (MBs) are routinely used as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. The use of ultrasound in combination with MBs has also attracted attention as a method to enhance drug delivery. We have developed a technology ... -
Quantification and Qualitative Effects of Different PEGylations on Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) Nanoparticles
Åslund, Andreas; Sulheim, Einar; Snipstad, Sofie; von Haartman, Eva; Baghirov, Habib; Starr, Nichola; Løvmo, Mia Kvåle; Lelu, Sylvie; Scurr, David; Davies, Catharina De Lange; Schmid, Ruth; Mørch, Yrr Asbjørg (Journal article, 2017)Protein adsorption on nanoparticles (NPs) used in nanomedicine leads to opsonization and activation of the complement system in blood, which substantially reduces the blood circulation time of NPs. The most commonly used ... -
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 ... -
