Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Treatment through Nanoparticle-Facilitated Fenton Reaction
TL;DR: This review aims to highlight the use of the Fenton reaction using different nanoparticles to improve traditional cancer therapies and the emerging Fenton-based therapy, highlighting the obstacles, challenges, and promising developments in each of these areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
MOF-Mediated Destruction of Cancer Using the Cell's Own Hydrogen Peroxide
Hadi Ranji-Burachaloo,Fatemeh Karimi,Ke Xie,Qiang Fu,Paul A. Gurr,David E. Dunstan,Greg G. Qiao +6 more
TL;DR: In vitro experiments demonstrate that this novel nanoparticle is cytotoxic to cancer cells (HeLa) through generation of OH• inside the cells, and a new type of agent for controlled hydroxyl radical generation using the Fenton reaction to kill the tumor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrathin Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheets as a Gutter Layer for Flexible Composite Gas Separation Membranes
Min Liu,Ke Xie,Mitchell D. Nothling,Paul A. Gurr,Shereen Siew Ling Tan,Qiang Fu,Paul A. Webley,Greg G. Qiao +7 more
TL;DR: The inclusion of ultrathin MOF nanosheets into next-generation TFCMs has the potential for major improvements in gas separation performance over current composite membrane designs, with results indicating that flexibility in the ultrath in MOF layer is critical for optimized membrane performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
From well defined star-microgels to highly ordered honeycomb films
TL;DR: In this article, a two-step process known as the arm first approach by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) was used to produce star microgels with varying amounts of methyl methacrylate (MMA) as spacer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined Fenton and starvation therapies using hemoglobin and glucose oxidase
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a novel pH-sensitive system containing hemoglobin and GOx for effective and selective cancer treatment using both radical generation and nutrient starvation.
