Harris M, Kuang H, Schneiderman Z, Shiao M, Crane A, Chrostek M, et al.
Sci Adv . 2021 Dec; 7(49):eabl5872. PMID: 34851666
Effective treatment of glioblastoma remains a daunting challenge. One of the major hurdles in the development of therapeutics is their inability to cross the blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB). Local delivery...

Sharma R, Liaw K, Sharma A, Jimenez A, Chang M, Salazar S, et al.
J Control Release . 2021 Jul; 337:179-192. PMID: 34274384
Glioblastoma is among the most aggressive forms of cancers, with a median survival of just 15-20 months for patients despite maximum clinical intervention. The majority of conventional anti-cancer therapies fail...

Gary E, Warner B, Parzych E, Griffin B, Zhu X, Tailor N, et al.
iScience . 2021 Jun; 24(7):102699. PMID: 34124612
More than 100 million people have been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Common laboratory mice are not susceptible to wild-type SARS-CoV-2 infection, challenging the development and testing...

DeRidder L, Sharma A, Liaw K, Sharma R, John J, Kannan S, et al.
Nanoscale . 2021 Jan; 13(2):939-952. PMID: 33479718
Switching microglia from a disease exacerbating, 'pro-inflammatory' state into a neuroprotective, 'anti-inflammatory' phenotype is a promising strategy for addressing multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Pro-inflammatory microglia contribute to disease progression by releasing...

Biomacromolecules . 2020 Aug; 21(9):3909-3922. PMID: 32786523
Mitochondria mediate critical cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and immune responses; as such, their dysfunction is pathogenic in many neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. In glioblastoma, targeted delivery of mitochondria-focused anticancer...
