Dual Acting Polymeric Nano-Aggregates for Liver Cancer Therapy (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Shakarchi, W., Alsuraifi, A., Curtis, A., & Hoskins, C. (2018). Dual Acting Polymeric Nano-Aggregates for Liver Cancer Therapy. Pharmaceutics, https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics10020063

Liver cancer treatments are often hindered by poor drug physicochemical properties, hence there is a need for improvement in order to increase patient survival and outlook. Combination therapies have been studied in order to evaluate whether increase... Read More about Dual Acting Polymeric Nano-Aggregates for Liver Cancer Therapy.

Combined effect of anticancer agents and cytochrome C decorated hybrid nanoparticles for liver cancer therapy (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Shakarci, W., Alsuraifi, A., Abed, M., Abdullah, M., Hoskins, C., Richardson, A., & Curtis, A. (2018). Combined effect of anticancer agents and cytochrome C decorated hybrid nanoparticles for liver cancer therapy. Pharmaceutics, 48. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics10020048

Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive form of liver cancer that displays minimal symptoms until its late stages. Unfortunately, patient prognosis still remains poor with only 10% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. Current...
