Apoferritin and Dps as drug delivery vehicles: Some selected examples in oncology (2021)
Journal Article
Kuruppu, A. I., Turyanska, L., Bradshaw, T. D., Manickam, S., Galhena, B. P., Paranagama, P., & De Silva, R. (2022). Apoferritin and Dps as drug delivery vehicles: Some selected examples in oncology. BBA - General Subjects, 1866(2), Article 130067. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbagen.2021.130067

Background: The ideal nanoparticle should be able to encapsulate either pharmaceutical agents or imaging probes so that it could treat or image clinical tumours by targeting the cancer site efficiently. Further, it would be an added advantage if it d... Read More about Apoferritin and Dps as drug delivery vehicles: Some selected examples in oncology.

Near-infrared PbS quantum dots functionalized with affibodies and ZnPP for targeted imaging and therapeutic applications (2021)
Journal Article
Al-Ani, A. W., Zamberlan, F., Ferreira, L., Bradshaw, T. D., Thomas, N. R., & Turyanska, L. (2021). Near-infrared PbS quantum dots functionalized with affibodies and ZnPP for targeted imaging and therapeutic applications. Nano Express, 2(4), Article 040005. https://doi.org/10.1088/2632-959x/ac33b8

We report a new theranostic device based on lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) with optical emission in the near infrared wavelength range decorated with affibodies (small 6.5 kDa protein-based antibody replacements) specific to the cancer biomarker...

Journal Article
Heravi Shargh, V., Luckett, J., Bouzinab, K., Paisey, S., Turyanska, L., Singleton, W. G., …Coyle, B. (2021). Chemosensitization of temozolomide-resistant pediatric diffuse midline glioma using potent nanoencapsulated forms of a N(3)-propargyl analogue. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 13(30), 35266-35280. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.1c04164

The lack of clinical response to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) in pediatric diffuse midline/intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) has been associated with O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) expression and mismatch repair deficiency. He... Read More about Chemosensitization of temozolomide-resistant pediatric diffuse midline glioma using potent nanoencapsulated forms of a N(3)-propargyl analogue.
