Endocytic Programming via Porous Silicon Nanoparticles Enhances TLR4 Nanoagonist Potency for Macrophage‐Mediated Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Porous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs) reprogram macrophage endocytosis of manganese@albumin‐based TLR4 nanoagonists, driving TRIF‐biased TLR4 signaling, eliciting robust proinflammatory responses, and potentiating macrophage‐mediated immunotherapeutic effects against NSCLC.

Inter-study reproducibility of arterial spin labelling magnetic resonance imaging for measurement of renal perfusion in healthy volunteers at 3 Tesla [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Measurement of renal perfusion is a crucial part of measuring kidney function. Arterial spin labelling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL MRI) is a non-invasive method of measuring renal perfusion using magnetised blood as endogenous contrast ...

Evaluation of Renal Blood Flow in Chronic Kidney Disease Using Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesKidney International Reports, 2017
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with reduced renal blood flow. However, data in humans are limited to date. Methods: In this study, noninvasive arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired in 33 patients ...

Estimation of the vascular resistance amplifier in the renal vascular bed in conscious hypertensive rabbits: comparison with the total peripheral vasculature

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
Objectives: The vascular amplifier in hypertension is a result of structural changes in resistance arteries. We estimated the vascular amplifier hypertensive:normotensive (H:N) ratio in the renal bed compared with the total peripheral bed in conscious ...

The unsuitability of implantable Doppler probes for the early detection of renal vascular complications - a porcine model for prevention of renal transplant loss. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Vascular occlusion is a rare, but serious complication after kidney transplantation often resulting in graft loss. We therefore aimed to develop an experimental porcine model for stepwise reduction of the renal venous blood flow and to compare an ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Acute effects of ferumoxytol on regulation of renal hemodynamics and oxygenation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle ferumoxytol is increasingly used as intravascular contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study details the impact of ferumoxytol on regulation of renal hemodynamics and oxygenation.
