Cellular Interaction with Polymeric Nanoparticles: The Effect of PEGylation and Monomer Composition

Westrøm, Sara (Master thesis, 2013)

It is of importance to understand which nanoparticle properties that govern the interactions between particles and cells, in order to develop a nanocarrier with the desired functionality. In this thesis, nanoparticles made ...
Contact-mediated intracellular delivery of hydrophobic drugs from polymeric nanoparticles

Snipstad, Sofie; Westrøm, Sara; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Afadzi, Mercy; Åslund, Andreas; Davies, Catharina De Lange (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)

Encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticles can enhance the accumulation of drugs in tumours, reduce toxicity toward healthy tissue, and improve pharmacokinetics compared to administration of free drug. To achieve efficient ...
