Atomic force microscopy for the investigation of molecular and cellular behavior
(Elsevier, 2016-10)The present review details the methods used for the measurement of cells and their exudates using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and outlines the general conclusions drawn by the mechanical characterization of biological ... -
Cellular internalization of therapeutic oligonucleotides by peptide amphiphile nanofibers and nanospheres
(American Chemical Society, 2016-04)Oligonucleotides are promising drug candidates due to the exceptionally high specificity they exhibit toward their target DNA and RNA sequences. However, their poor pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, in ... -
Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering ... -
Genetics and epigenetics of liver cancer
(Elsevier, 2013)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major form of primary liver cancer in adults. Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses and alcohol abuse are the major factors leading to HCC. This deadly ... -
SIMARD: a simulated annealing based RNA design algorithm with quality pre-selection strategies
(IEEE, 2017-12)Most of the biological processes including expression levels of genes and translation of DNA to produce proteins within cells depend on RNA sequences, and the structure of the RNA plays vital role for its function. RNA ...
