Khaledi N, Karshafian R, Taggar A, Alrabiah K, Khan R, Grafe J
Phys Med Biol . 2024 Jul; 69(17). PMID: 39074499
This study simulated the potential of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy in pancreatic cancer cases. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact...

Bulycheva V, Kolios M, Karshafian R
Ultrasonics . 2024 Jun; 142:107374. PMID: 38875881
This study investigates the size-dependent dynamics of bubbles and their interaction with soft boundaries under various ultrasound (US) conditions. We found that bubble behavior is influenced by size, with smaller...

Zalloum I, Sojahrood A, Paknahad A, Kolios M, Tsai S, Karshafian R
Langmuir . 2023 Nov; 39(49):17622-17631. PMID: 38016673
The acoustic response of microbubbles (MBs) depends on their resonance frequency, which is dependent on the MB size and shell properties. Monodisperse MBs with tunable shell properties are thus desirable...

Paknahad A, Zalloum I, Karshafian R, Kolios M, Tsai S
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2023 Sep; 653(Pt A):277-284. PMID: 37716307
Microfluidics has recently been proposed as a viable method for producing bulk nanobubbles for use in various applications. The portability, compact size, and capacity to precisely control fluids on a...

Paknahad A, Zalloum I, Karshafian R, Kolios M, Tsai S
Soft Matter . 2023 Jun; 19(27):5142-5149. PMID: 37386867
Microfluidic devices are often utilized to generate uniform-size microbubbles. In most microfluidic bubble generation experiments, once the bubbles are formed the gas inside the bubbles begin to dissolve into the...

Sanwal R, Mintsopoulos V, Ditmans M, Lang A, Latreille E, Ghaffari S, et al.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2023 Jun; 325(2):L135-L142. PMID: 37310768
In acute lung injury, the lung endothelial barrier is compromised. Loss of endothelial barrier integrity occurs in association with decreased levels of the tight junction protein claudin-5. Restoration of their...

Almasri F, Sakarya E, Karshafian R
Pharmaceutics . 2023 May; 15(5). PMID: 37242710
Using an in vitro prostate cancer model, we previously demonstrated the significant enhancement of radiotherapy (XRT) with the combined treatment of docetaxel (Taxotere; TXT) and ultrasound-microbubbles (USMB). Here, we extend...

Lo L, Uchenunu O, Botelho R, Antonescu C, Karshafian R
iScience . 2023 Jan; 26(2):105883. PMID: 36685038
Ultrasound-stimulated microbubble (USMB) treatment is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. USMB promotes drug delivery by sonoporation and enhanced endocytosis, and also impairs cell viability. However, USMB elicits heterogeneous effects...

Mistry S, Fuhrmann P, de Vries A, Karshafian R, Rousseau D
J Colloid Interface Sci . 2022 Nov; 630(Pt B):878-887. PMID: 36356453
Hypotheses: Monoolein liquid crystals find use in foods and pharmaceuticals. Our hypotheses were: (a) liquid crystal symmetry dominates yielding and large deformation, and (b) strain rate frequency superposition (SRFS) may...

Langmuir . 2022 Oct; 38(43):13021-13029. PMID: 36260341
Monodisperse microbubbles with diameters less than 10 μm are desirable in several ultrasound imaging and therapeutic delivery applications. However, conventional approaches to synthesize microbubbles, which are usually agitation-based, produce polydisperse...
