The use of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery, especially in diseased arteries, is a novel procedure. We are incorporating nanoparticles into blood vessels using a catheter, which could potentially deliver drugs precisely to affected…
Nanoparticle drug carriers play an important role in facilitating efficient targeted drug delivery, i.e., improving treatment success and reducing drug costs and side effects. However, the mobility of nanoparticle drug carriers poses a…
Thermoresponsive hydrogels have been studied intensively for creating smart drug carriers and controlled drug delivery. Understanding the drug release kinetics and corresponding transport mechanisms of nanoparticles (NPs) in a…
The human aorta is a high-risk area for vascular diseases, which are commonly restored by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. In this paper, we report a promising shear-activated targeted nanoparticle drug delivery strategy to assist in…
With the goal of determining strategies to maximise drug delivery to a specific site in the body, we developed a mathematical model for the transport of drug nanocarriers (nanoparticles) in the bloodstream under the influence of an external…
Controlled drug delivery (CDD), the controlled release and delivery of therapeutic drugs inside the human body, is a promising approach to increase the efficacy of drug administration and reduce harmful side effects to the body. CDD has…
This paper presents a mathematical framework for optimizing drug delivery in cancer treatment using a nonlocal model of solid tumor growth. We present a coupled system of partial differential equations that incorporate long-range cellular…
This paper considers the scenario of a targeted drug delivery system, which consists of deploying a number of biological nanomachines close to a biological target (e.g. a tumor), able to deliver drug molecules in the diseased area. Suitably…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to be a significant global health burden, prompting the need for more effective and targeted therapeutic strategies. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach to address…
A novel concept of nano-scaled interwoven templates for drug delivery with alternating hydro- and lipophilicity properties is introduced. They are built from cellulose and peptide hydrogel in tandem, and characterized by a nano-stacked…
Drug delivery systems represent a promising strategy to treat cancer and to overcome the side effects of chemotherapy. In particular, polymeric nanocontainers have attracted major interest because of their structural and morphological…
Programmable lipid nanoparticles, or LNPs, represent a breakthrough in the realm of targeted drug delivery, offering precise spatiotemporal control essential for the treatment of complex diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders. In…
Drug-loaded hydrogels provide a means to deliver pharmaceutical agents to specific sites within the body at a controlled rate. The aim of this paper is to understand how controlled drug release can be achieved by tuning the initial…
Fluctuations of dynamical quantities are fundamental and inevitable. For the booming research in nanotechnology, huge relative fluctuation comes with the reduction of system size, leading to large uncertainty for the estimates of dynamical…
Medical drug infusion problems pose a combination of challenges such as nonlinearities from physiological models, model uncertainty due to inter- and intra-patient variability, as well as strict safety specifications. With these challenges…
Nanocarriers are nanosized materials commonly used for targeted-oriented delivery of active compounds, including antimicrobials and small-molecular drugs. They equally represent fundamental and engineering challenges since sophisticated…
The combination of cytotoxic therapies and anti-angiogenic agents is emerging as a most promising strategy in the treatment of malignant tumors. However, the timing and sequencing of these treatments seem to play essential roles in…
In this letter, we present anti-cancer drug delivery strategies using knowledges obtained from our recent studies. We have conducted inverse analyses of "density distributions of colloidal particles near a focused surface" and "pair…
This paper addresses the problem of obtaining low-order models of fluid flows for the purpose of designing robust feedback controllers. This is challenging since whilst many flows are governed by a set of nonlinear, partial…
This paper presents a model-based control architecture. Based on the Medical Cyber-physical Systems (MCPS) concept, we construct a safe and reliable automatic anesthesia control closed-loop system. The control architecture uses the…
