Journal ArticleDOI
Employing mesenchymal stem cells to support tumor-targeted delivery of extracellular vesicle (EV)-encapsulated microRNA-379.
Killian P. O’Brien,Sonja Khan,Katie E. Gilligan,Haroon Zafar,Pierce Lalor,Claire L. Glynn,Cathal O'Flatharta,Helen Ingoldsby,Peter Dockery,A. De Bhulbh,J. R. Schweber,K. St John,Martin J. Leahy,J. M. Murphy,William M. Gallagher,Timothy O'Brien,Michael J. Kerin,Roisin M. Dwyer +17 more
TL;DR: The data presented support miR-379 as a potent tumor suppressor in breast cancer, mediated in part through regulation of COX-2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transseptal puncture — Review of anatomy, techniques, complications and challenges
TL;DR: Refinements of conventional instruments, as well as innovations to puncture the septum without mechanical pressure, herald a progressively safer future for the transseptal technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary Stent Materials and Coatings: A Technology and Performance Update
TL;DR: The Genous stent which promotes attachment of endothelial progenitor cells has made good progress while gene-eluting stents still have some practical challenges to overcome, and the most advancement has been in the field of biodegradable stents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of hemodynamically severe coronary stenosis as determined by fractional flow reserve with frequency domain optical coherence tomography measured anatomical parameters.
Haroon Zafar,Ihsan Ullah,Kate Dinneen,Sajjad Matiullah,Alan Hanley,Martin J. Leahy,Faisal Sharif +6 more
TL;DR: In the overall group, the FD-OCT-measured MLA and MLD have shown moderate diagnostic efficiency in the functional evaluation of significant stenosis, and FD- OCT has high diagnostic Efficiency in identifying severe coronary stenosis in vessels having reference diameter < 3 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual plasmonic gold nanostars for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy.
Vijay Raghavan,Cathal O'Flatharta,Roisin M. Dwyer,Aedán Breathnach,Haroon Zafar,Peter Dockery,Antony M. Wheatley,Ivan Keogh,Martin J. Leahy,Martin J. Leahy,Malini Olivo,Malini Olivo +11 more
TL;DR: DPGNS exhibited potential for single node diagnosis and therapy with longer wavelength facilitating deeper imaging and therapy and the in vivo photothermal capability of DPGNS resulted in a significant decrease in the tumor cellular area.
