Basement membrane influences intestinal epithelial cell growth and presents a barrier to the movement of macromolecules (2014)
Journal Article

This work examines the potential drug delivery barrier of the basement membrane (BM) by assessing the permeability of select macromolecules and nanoparticles. The study further extends to probing the effect of BM on intestinal epithelial cell attachm...

Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium (2013)
Journal Article

Non-invasive delivery of biotherapeutics, as an attractive alternative to injections, could potentially be achieved through the mucosal surfaces, utilizing nanoscale therapeutic carriers. However, nanoparticles do not readily cross the mucosal barrie... Read More about Uptake and transport of B12-conjugated nanoparticles in airway epithelium.

Nanoparticle transport in epithelial cells: pathway switching through bioconjugation (2013)
Journal Article

The understanding and control of nanoparticle transport into and through cellular compartments is central to biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Here, it is shown that the transport pathway of 50 nm polystyrene nanoparticles decorated with vit...
