Magnetic targeting of microbubbles against physiologically relevant flow conditions
The localization of microbubbles to a treatment site has been shown to be essential to their effectiveness in therapeutic applications such as targeted drug delivery and gene therapy. A variety of different strategies for achieving localization has been investigated, including biochemical targeting, acoustic radiation force, and the incorporation of superparamagnetic nanoparticles into microbub...
متن کاملEnhancement of non-invasive trans-membrane drug delivery using ultrasound and microbubbles during physiologically relevant flow.
Sonoporation has been associated with drug delivery across cell membranes and into target cells, yet several limitations have prohibited further advancement of this technology. Higher delivery rates were associated with increased cellular death, thus implying a safety-efficacy trade-off. Meanwhile, there has been no reported study of safe in vitro sonoporation in a physiologically relevant flow...
متن کاملDifferential effects of physiologically relevant hypoxic conditions on T lymphocyte development and effector functions.
Direct measurements revealed low oxygen tensions (0.5-4.5% oxygen) in murine lymphoid organs in vivo. To test whether adaptation to changes in oxygen tension may have an effect on lymphocyte functions, T cell differentiation and functions at varying oxygen tensions were studied. These studies show: 1) differentiated CTL deliver Fas ligand- and perforin-dependent lethal hit equally well at all r...
متن کاملNotch Effects Under Physiologically-Relevant Conditions of Conventional and Highly Crosslinked UHMWPEs
Introduction: Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) components used in total joint replacements have rims and fillets that act as design stress risers; thus, it is of interest to determine the behavior UHMWPE under multiaxial loading conditions. Currently, there are a number of conventional and crosslinked UHMWPE formulations in clinical use in total hip and total knee replacement c...
متن کاملGlucose-sensing neurons: are they physiologically relevant?
Glucose homeostasis is of paramount concern to the brain since glucose is its primary fuel. Thus, the brain has evolved mechanisms to sense and respond to changes in glucose levels. The efferent aspects of the central nervous system response to hypoglycemia are relatively well understood. In addition, it is accepted that the brain regulates food intake and energy balance. Obesity and diabetes b...
