… Maysinger et al. conducted exhaustive studies to elucidate the mechanisms governing the
cellular uptake of block copolymer micelles [79]. As such, confocal laser scanning microscopy …

This review describes the properties of block copolymer micelles which influence their
efficiency as drug delivery vehicles for hydrophobic drugs. The key performance related …

… Dusica Maysinger earned her Ph.D. at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles
and pursued her postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute, Karolinska Institute, and …

Block copolymer micelles are water-soluble biocompatible nanocontainers with great
potential for delivering hydrophobic drugs. An understanding of their cellular distribution is …

… D–F PC12 cells incubated with high concentration of QDs (37.5 µg/ml) for 5 min (… 4D).
Similar studies have been reported by Hanaki et al. [32], who demonstrated that QD–albumin …

Quantum dots (QDs) are luminescent nanoparticles with unique optical properties that have
been exploited for single-cell and whole-animal imaging. When coated with proteins or …

Several studies suggested that the cytotoxic effects of quantum dots (QDs) may be mediated
by cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) released from the QDs cores. The objective of this work was to …

Block copolymer micelles formed from copolymers of poly(caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene
oxide) (PCL-b-PEO) were investigated as a drug delivery vehicle for dihydrotestosterone (DHT)…

Given the emergence of nanotherapeutics and nanodiagnostics as key tools in today’s
medicine, it has become of critical importance to define precisely the interactions of …

Background Neuroblastoma, a frequently occurring solid tumour in children, remains a
therapeutic challenge as existing imaging tools are inadequate for proper and accurate diagnosis…
