Microbubble Shell Stiffness Engineering Enhances Ultrasound Imaging, Drug Delivery, and Sonoporation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
 Shell‐engineered poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) microbubbles with tunable stiffness improve ultrasound imaging and therapy. Adjusting the length of the alkyl chain and the glass transition temperature maintains a narrow microbubble size distribution while enhancing drug loading, sonoporation and the acoustic response.

Proton beam therapy causing pericarditis – a rare case of radiation induced cardiotoxicity

Cardio-Oncology, 2022
Acute pericarditis is caused by the inflammation of the pericardium which can result in an effusion around the heart. Proton beam therapy causing radiation-induced pericarditis is not a well-known cause of pericarditis.

Biocompatible Ink Optimization Enables Functional Volumetric Bioprinting With Xolography

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Xolography's reliance on weak‐base co‐initiators introduces unique biochemical constraints. By dissecting the effects of extracellular pH, osmolality, and lysosomotropic stress, this study defines the biochemical design space that enables fully biocompatible, cell‐laden volumetric printing. Abstract Xolography is a novel linear volumetric manufacturing

Proton beam therapy for gastrointestinal cancers: past, present, and future.

Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, 2018
Despite the conformality of modern X-ray therapy limiting high dose received by normal tissues the physical properties of X-rays make it impossible to avoid dose being delivered distal to the target.
