Ultrasound–triggered tumor‐selective nitric oxide release enhances tumor penetration of antibody–conjugated nanomedicine

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐triggered nitric oxide release from S‐nitrosated hyaluronic acid (HA‐SNO) induces tumor vasodilation and disrupts the vascular barrier, potently enhancing the intratumoral penetration of antibody‐conjugated nanomedicines. Abstract The tumor vascular barrier restricts the penetration of antibody‐conjugated nanomedicine, severely limiting its ...

WHAT DETERMINES THE USE OF BRANDS AND SEALS OF APPROVAL AS EXTRINSIC QUALITY CUES IN CONSUMERS’ PORK PURCHASE DECISION? [PDF]

In today’s saturated food markets with increasingly homogeneous products food quality provides an opportunity for product differentiation. We want to answer the question what determines the use of extrinsic quality cues (brands, seals of approval) in ...

Similarity and substitution: Using pile sorting methods to explore economic behavior

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the common intuition that similar products are stronger demand substitutes, this study shows a more nuanced relationship between perceived similarity and utility substitution. Using pile sorting, a method where items are sorted into groups according to their similarity, we conduct large‐scale consumer surveys on purchasing 21 foods for
