Evaluation of cannabidiol nanoparticles and nanoemulsion biodistribution in the central nervous system after intrathecal administration for the treatment of pain (2023)
Journal Article
Muresan, P., Woodhams, S., Smith, F., Taresco, V., Shah, J., Wong, M., …Marlow, M. (2023). Evaluation of cannabidiol nanoparticles and nanoemulsion biodistribution in the central nervous system after intrathecal administration for the treatment of pain. Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, 49, Article 102664. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nano.2023.102664

We investigated how the biodistribution of cannabidiol (CBD) within the central nervous system (CNS) is influenced by two different formulations, an oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion and polymer-coated nanoparticles (PCNPs). We observed that both CBD f...

Development of nanoparticle loaded microneedles for drug delivery to a brain tumour resection site (2022)
Journal Article
Muresan, P., McCrorie, P., Smith, F., Vasey, C., Taresco, V., Scurr, D. J., …Marlow, M. (2023). Development of nanoparticle loaded microneedles for drug delivery to a brain tumour resection site. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 182, 53-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.11.016

Systemic drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) has been historically impeded by the presence of the blood brain barrier rendering many therapies inefficacious to any cancer cells residing within the brain. Therefore, local drug delivery s... Read More about Development of nanoparticle loaded microneedles for drug delivery to a brain tumour resection site.

Emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants: comparative replication dynamics and high sensitivity to thapsigargin (2021)
Journal Article
Al-Beltagi, S., Goulding, L. V., Chang, D. K., Mellits, K. H., Hayes, C. J., Gershkovich, P., …Chang, K. (2021). Emergent SARS-CoV-2 variants: comparative replication dynamics and high sensitivity to thapsigargin. Virulence, 12(1), 2946-2956. https://doi.org/10.1080/21505594.2021.2006960

The struggle to control the COVID-19 pandemic is made challenging by the emergence of virulent SARS-CoV-2 variants. To gain insight into their replication dynamics, emergent Alpha (A), Beta (B) and Delta (D) SARS-CoV-2 variants were assessed for thei...

In search of effective therapies to overcome resistance to Temozolomide in brain tumours (2019)
Journal Article
Grundy, R., Bouzinab, K., Summers, H., Zhang, J., Stevens, M. F. G., Moody, C. J., …Bradshaw, T. D. (2019). In search of effective therapies to overcome resistance to Temozolomide in brain tumours. Cancer Drug Resistance, 2(4), 1018-1031. https://doi.org/10.20517/cdr.2019.64

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and lethal brain tumour-type. The current standard of care includes Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. However, inherent and acquired resistance to TMZ thwart successful treatment. The direct repair protein me...
