• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Ultrasound-mediated delivery and distribution of polymeric nanoparticles in the normal brain parenchyma of a metastatic brain tumour model 

      Baghirov, Habib; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Berg, Sigrid; Hansen, Rune; Thorsen, Frits; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Davies, Catharina de Lange; Åslund, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The treatment of brain diseases is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) preventing most drugs from entering the brain. Focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubbles can open the BBB safely and reversibly. Systemic drug ...
