Science advances

Han X, Liu Z, Jo MC, Zhang K, Li Y, Zeng Z, Li N, Zu Y, Qin L.
PMID: 26601238

The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas (CRISPR-associated) nuclease system represents an efficient tool for genome editing and gene function analysis. It consists of two components: single-guide RNA (sgRNA) and the enzyme Cas9. Typical sgRNA and Cas9 intracellular...

Poor biodistribution and accumulation of chemotherapeutics in tumors due to limitations on diffusive transport and high intra-tumoral pressures (Jain RK, Nat Med. 7(9):987-989, 2001) have prompted the investigation of adjunctive therapies to improve treatment outcomes. Hyperthermia has been widely...

HSP70 promoter-driven activation of gene expression for immunotherapy using gold nanorods and near infrared light.

Vaccines (Basel). 2014 Mar 25;2(2):216-27. doi: 10.3390/vaccines2020216.

Modulation of the cytokine milieu is one approach for vaccine development. However, therapy with pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-12, is limited in practice due to adverse systemic effects. Spatially-restricted gene expression circumvents this problem by enabling localized amplification. Intracellular...

Nitric oxide-mediated tumoricidal activity of murine microglial cells.

Experimental metastases in the brain of mice are infiltrated by microglia, and parabiosis experiments of green fluorescent protein (GFP(+)) and GFP(-) mice revealed that these microglia are derived from circulating monocytes (GFP(+), F4/80(+), and CD68(+)). These findings raised the...

Porous silicon (pSi) is emerging as a promising material in the development of nanovectors for the systemic delivery of therapeutic and imaging agents. The integration of photolithographic patterning, typical of the semiconductor industry, with electrochemical silicon etching provides a...

Integrated intravital microscopy and mathematical modeling to optimize nanotherapeutics delivery to tumors.

AIP Adv. 2012 Mar;2(1):11208. doi: 10.1063/1.3699060. Epub 2012 Mar 22.

Inefficient vascularization hinders the optimal transport of cell nutrients, oxygen, and drugs to cancer cells in solid tumors. Gradients of these substances maintain a heterogeneous cell-scale microenvironment through which drugs and their carriers must travel, significantly limiting optimal drug...

A multiphase model for three-dimensional tumor growth.

New journal of physics

Sciumè G, Shelton S, Gray W, Miller C, Hussain F, Ferrari M, Decuzzi P, Schrefler B.

New J Phys. 2013 Jan;15:015005. doi: 10.1088/1367-2630/15/1/015005.

Several mathematical formulations have analyzed the time-dependent behaviour of a tumor mass. However, most of these propose simplifications that compromise the physical soundness of the model. Here, multiphase porous media mechanics is extended to model tumor evolution, using governing...
