Curtis, A., Malekigorji, M., Holman, J., Skidmore, M., & Hoskins, C. (2015). Heat Dissipation of Hybrid Iron Oxide-Gold Nanoparticles in an Agar Phantom. Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology, 6(6), https://doi.org/10.4172/2157-7439.1000335

Hybrid iron oxide-gold nanoparticles (HNPs) have shown potential in cancer therapy as agents for tumour ablation and thermal switches for targeted drug release. Heat generation occurs by exploitation of the surface plasmon resonance of the gold coati... Read More about Heat Dissipation of Hybrid Iron Oxide-Gold Nanoparticles in an Agar Phantom.

Simple Calix[n]arenes and Calix[4]resorcinarenes as Drug Solubilizing Agents (2015)
Journal Article
Hoskins, C., & Curtis, A. D. Simple Calix[n]arenes and Calix[4]resorcinarenes as Drug Solubilizing Agents. Journal of Nanomedicine Research, 2(3), https://doi.org/10.15406/jnmr.2015.02.00028

Many drug molecules have low solubility in aqueous media and, hence, poor bioavailability. The formation of a host-guest complex with some other compound which has a good solubility profile can facilitate solubilization of hydrophobic drugs. Complex...
