Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of fibrillar collagen in a human melanoma xenograft improves the efficacy of an oncolytic herpes simplex virus vector.

TL;DR: Fibrillar collagen can be a formidable barrier to viral distribution and matrix-modifying treatments can significantly enhance the therapeutic response, resulting in an extended range of infected tumor cells and improved virus propagation, ultimately leading to enhanced therapeutic outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent Nanorods and Nanospheres for Real‐Time In Vivo Probing of Nanoparticle Shape‐Dependent Tumor Penetration

TL;DR: The tumor microenvironment limits the uniform penetration of nanotherapeutics by slowing or halting their transport through hydrodynamic and steric hindrance, and overcoming these physiological barriers in tumors is an outstanding challenge for nanomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport of fluid and macromolecules in tumors. III. Role of binding and metabolism.

TL;DR: The main conclusion is that an antibody with the highest possible binding affinity should be used except when: there are significant necrotic regions; the diffusive vascular permeability is very small; and a uniform concentration is required on a microscopic scale.
Journal Article

Augmentation of transvascular transport of macromolecules and nanoparticles in tumors using vascular endothelial growth factor.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that exogenous VEGF may be useful for augmenting the transvascular delivery of larger antineoplastic agents such as gene targeting vectors and encapsulated drug carriers into tumors.
