Combining two strategies to improve perfusion and drug delivery in solid tumors

TL;DR: A mathematical model is developed to guide the optimal use of vascular normalization and stress-alleviation to improve tumor perfusion and delivery of drugs and reveals an optimal perfusion region when vessels are uncompressed, but not very leaky.

Next-generation in vivo optical imaging with short-wave infrared quantum dots

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of high-quality SWIR-emissive indium-arsenide-based quantum dots (QDs) are introduced for various functional imaging applications, and that exhibit narrow and size-tunable emission and a dramatically higher emission quantum yield than previously described SWIR probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reengineering the Physical Microenvironment of Tumors to Improve Drug Delivery and Efficacy: From Mathematical Modeling to Bench to Bedside.

TL;DR: The mechanics of the solid and fluid components of a tumor are discussed, with a focus on how they impede the transport of therapeutic agents and create an abnormal tumor microenvironment that fuels tumor progression and treatment resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delivery of Molecular Medicine to Solid Tumors

TL;DR: Jain proposes a three-part strategy for overcoming this obstacle to successful treatment of tumors.
