Tumor Selective Hyperthermia Induced by Short-Wave Capacitively-Coupled RF Electric-Fields
Mustafa Raoof,Mustafa Raoof,Brandon T. Cisneros,Brandon T. Cisneros,Stuart J. Corr,Stuart J. Corr,Flavio Palalon,Steven A. Curley,Steven A. Curley,Nadezhda V. Koshkina +9 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the heating behavior and dielectric properties of normal mouse tissues and orthotopically-implanted human hepatocellular and pancreatic carcinoma xenografts and demonstrates that repeated RF exposure of tumor-bearing mice can result in significant anti-tumor effects.
Stable confinement of positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance agents within carbon nanotubes for bimodal imaging.
Brandon T. Cisneros,Justin J. Law,Michael L. Matson,Ali Azhdarinia,Eva M. Sevick-Muraca,Lon J. Wilson +5 more
TL;DR: Stable encapsulation of contrast agents within ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotubes represents a new strategy for the design of advanced imaging probes with variable multimodal imaging capabilities.

Gold nanoparticles and radiofrequency in experimental models for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Mustafa Raoof,Stuart J. Corr,Stuart J. Corr,Cihui Zhu,Brandon T. Cisneros,Brandon T. Cisneros,Warna D. Kaluarachchi,Sophia Phounsavath,Sophia Phounsavath,Lon J. Wilson,Steven A. Curley,Steven A. Curley +11 more
TL;DR: In a model of hepatocellular carcinoma, the authors demonstrate that non-invasive RF-induced hyperthermia applied with cetuximab targeted delivery of Au NP-gemcitabine conjugate is more effective and safe at dosages ~ 275-fold lower than the current clinically-used systemic dose of gem citabine.
Remotely Triggered Cisplatin Release from Carbon Nanocapsules by Radiofrequency Fields
Mustafa Raoof,Brandon T. Cisneros,Brandon T. Cisneros,Adem Guven,Sophia Phounsavath,Stuart J. Corr,Stuart J. Corr,Lon J. Wilson,Steven A. Curley,Steven A. Curley +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that non-invasive radiofrequency field activation of the CDDP@US-tubes produces heat that causes Pluronic disruption which triggers cisplatin release in an RF-dependent manner, and release-dependent cytotoxicity is demonstrated in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.

Cellular uptake and imaging studies of gadolinium-loaded single-walled carbon nanotubes as MRI contrast agents.
Annie M. Tang,Jeyarama S. Ananta,Hong Zhao,Brandon T. Cisneros,Edmund Y. Lam,Stephen T. C. Wong,Lon J. Wilson,Kelvin K. Wong +7 more
TL;DR: The intracellular uptake (J774A.1 murine macrophage cells) of gadolinium-loaded ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotubes (gadonanotubes or GNTs) in a 3 T MRI scanner using R(2) and R( 2)* mapping in vitro is quantified for the first time.
