Selective delivery of remarkably high levels of gadolinium to tumour cells using an arsonium salt
Published 2021The use of a triphenylarsonium vector for tumour cell-targeting leads to a dramatic increase in Gd3+ uptake in human glioblastoma multiforme cells by up to an order of magnitude over the isosteric triarylphosphonium analogue, ...Open AccessArticle -
Cutting edge rare earth radiometals: prospects for cancer theranostics
Published 2022With recent advances in novel approaches to cancer therapy and imaging, the application of theranostic techniques in personalised medicine has emerged as a very promising avenue of research inquiry in recent years. Interest ...Open AccessArticle -
Superior Tumor Cell Uptake by Mono- and Tri-Nuclear Rhodamine-Gadolinium(III) Agents
Published 2024The synthesis and characterization of a novel trinuclear rhodamine-Gd(III) complex, along with two analogous mononuclear rhodamine-Gd(III) complexes, are reported. All complexes displayed good selectivity in a human glioma ...Open AccessArticle -
Synthesis and tumour cell uptake studies of gadolinium(III)–phosphonium complexes
Published 2021The synthesis of a new series of Gd(III)-arylphosphonium complexes is described and the solution stability of selected compounds is reported. Their lipophilicity and uptake in human glial (SVG p12) and human glioblastoma ...Open AccessArticle -
Tensile benefits of nanofibers in commercial paint films
Published 2024Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in dispersed phase polymerization enables the synthesis of fibers and other self-assembled nanostructures at the quantities and cost required for use in commodity paints. Here ...Open AccessArticle
