• 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 ...
    • Nanoparticle delivery to the brain - By focused ultrasound and self-assembled nanoparticle-stabilized microbubbles 

      Åslund, Andreas; Berg, Sigrid; Hak, Sjoerd; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Torp, Sverre Helge; Sandvig, Axel; Widerøe, Marius; Hansen, Rune; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange (Journal article, 2015)
      The blood–brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a significant obstacle for the delivery of drugs into the central nervous system (CNS). Nanoparticles have been able to partly overcome this obstacle and can thus improve drug ...
    • Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a broad applicability marker for LC–MS/MS-based biodistribution analysis of nanomedicines 

      Hyldbakk, Astrid; Hansen, Terkel; Hak, Sjoerd; Borgos, Sven Even F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation (PEGylation) is a well-established strategy to improve the pharmacokinetic and biocompatibility properties of a wide variety of nanomedicines and therapeutic peptides and proteins. ...
    • Ultrasound-mediated delivery enhances therapeutic efficacy of MMP sensitive liposomes 

      Olsman, Marieke; Sereti, Viktoria; Andreassen, Kristine; Snipstad, Linn Sofie; van Wamel, Johanna Elisabeth Theodora; Eliasen, Rasmus; Berg, Sigrid; Urquhart, Andrew J.; Andresen, Thomas L.; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      To improve therapeutic efficacy of nanocarrier drug delivery systems, it is essential to improve their uptake and penetration in tumour tissue, enhance cellular uptake and ensure efficient drug release at the tumour site. ...
