Enhanced nanoparticle uptake into virus infected cells: could nanoparticles be useful in antiviral therapy? (2018)
Journal Article
Abo-zeid, Y., Urbanowicz, R. A., Thomson, B. J., Irving, W. L., Tarr, A. W., & Garnett, M. C. (2018). Enhanced nanoparticle uptake into virus infected cells: could nanoparticles be useful in antiviral therapy?. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 547(1-2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2018.06.027

Virus infections cause diseases of different severity ranged from mild infection e.g. common cold into life threatening diseases e.g. Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B. Virus infections represent 44% of newly emerging infections. Althou... Read More about Enhanced nanoparticle uptake into virus infected cells: could nanoparticles be useful in antiviral therapy?.

Synthesis of nucleoside-boronic esters hydrophobic pro-drugs: a possible route to improve hydrophilic nucleoside drug loading into polymer nanoparticles (2018)
Journal Article
Abo-zeid, Y., Mantovani, G., Irving, W. L., & Garnett, M. (2018). Synthesis of nucleoside-boronic esters hydrophobic pro-drugs: a possible route to improve hydrophilic nucleoside drug loading into polymer nanoparticles. Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, 46, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jddst.2018.05.027

Nucleoside analogues are active therapeutic agents for different types of diseases e.g. Cancer and virus infections. However, they are associated with several side effects due to off-target accumulation. Particulate delivery systems such as nanoparti...
