• Formulation and characterisation of drug-loaded antibubbles for image-guided and ultrasound-triggered drug delivery 

      Kotopoulis, Spiros; Lam, Christina; Haugse, Ragnhild; Snipstad, Sofie; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Jouleh, Tæraneh; Berg, Sigrid; Hansen, Rune; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Mccormack, Emmet Matin; Gilja, Odd Helge; Poortinga, Albert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The aim of this study was to develop high load-capacity antibubbles that can be visualized using diagnostic ultrasound and the encapsulated drug can be released and delivered using clinically translatable ultrasound. The ...
    • Low-Intensity Sonoporation-Induced Intracellular Signalling of Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Fibroblasts and Endothelial Cells 

      Haugse, Ragnhild; Langer, Anika; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Costea, Daniela Elena; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Gilja, Odd Helge; Kotopoulis, Spiros; Ruiz de Garibay, Gorka; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The use of ultrasound (US) and microbubbles (MB), usually referred to as sonoporation, has great potential to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy. However, the molecular mechanisms that mediate sonoporation response are ...
    • SonoVue® vs. Sonazoid™ vs. Optison™: Which Bubble Is Best for Low-Intensity Sonoporation of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma? 

      Kotopoulis, Spiros; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Mayoral Safont, Mireia; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Haugse, Ragnhild; Langer, Anika; Dimcevski, Georg Gjorgji; Lam, Christina; Bjånes, Tormod Karlsen; Gilja, Odd Helge; Mccormack, Emmet Matin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The use of ultrasound and microbubbles to enhance therapeutic efficacy (sonoporation) has shown great promise in cancer therapy from in vitro to ongoing clinical studies. The fastest bench-to-bedside translation involves ...
    • Ultrasound- and Microbubble-Assisted Gemcitabine Delivery to Pancreatic Cancer Cells 

      Bjånes, Tormod Karlsen; Kotopoulis, Spiros; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Kamceva, Tina; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Gilja, Odd Helge; Schjøtt, Jan; Riedel, Bettina; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a major cause of cancer death worldwide. Poor drug delivery to tumours is thought to limit chemotherapeutic treatment efficacy. Sonoporation combines ultrasound (US) and microbubbles ...
