Journal Article
Moloney, C., Mehradnia, F., Cavanagh, R. J., Ibrahim, A., Pearce, A. K., Ritchie, A. A., …Alexander, C. (2023). Chain-extension in hyperbranched polymers alters tissue distribution and cytotoxicity profiles in orthotopic models of triple negative breast cancers. Biomaterials Science, 11, 6545-6560. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3bm00609c

The therapeutic efficacy of nanomedicines is highly dependent on their access to target sites in the body, and this in turn is markedly affected by their size, shape and transport properties in tissue. Although there have been many studies in this ar...

The production of well-defined and reproducible poly-meric nanoparticles (NPs), in terms of size and stability in biological environments, is undoubtedly a fundamental challenge in the formulation of novel and more effective nanomedicines. The adopti... Read More about Role of Self‐Assembly Conditions and Amphiphilic Balance on Nanoparticle Formation of PEG‐PDLLA Copolymers in Aqueous Environments.

Overall survival in malignant glioma is significantly prolonged by neurosurgical delivery of etoposide and temozolomide from a thermo-responsive biodegradable paste (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, S. J., Tyler, B., Gould, T. W., Veal, G. J., Gorelick, N. L., Rowlinson, J., …Rahman, R. (2019). Overall survival in malignant glioma is significantly prolonged by neurosurgical delivery of etoposide and temozolomide from a thermo-responsive biodegradable paste. Clinical Cancer Research, 25(16), 5094-5106. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-18-3850

Purpose: High-grade glioma (HGG) treatment is limited by the inability of otherwise potentially efficacious drugs to penetrate the blood brain barrier. We evaluate the unique intra-cavity delivery mode and translational potential of a blend of poly(D...

Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix (2013)
Journal Article
Rahman, C. V., Smith, S. J., Morgan, P. S., Langmack, K. A., Clarke, P. A., Ritchie, A. A., …Rahman, R. (2013). Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix. PLoS ONE, 8(10), Article e77435. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0077435

INTRODUCTION Polymer-based delivery systems offer innovative intra-cavity administration of drugs, with the potential to better target micro-deposits of cancer cells in brain parenchyma beyond the resected cavity. Here we evaluate clinical utility... Read More about Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix.
