Shrinking Cancer Research Barriers: Crafting Accessible Tumor-on-Chip

A simple yet reproducible method for developing ToC devices under 10 minutes, using thermo-sensitive polystyrene sheets – “Shrinky-dinks”. The process only involves pattern engraving, layer bonding and heat-shrink to the final size.

Mild hyperthermia via gold nanoparticles and visible light irradiation for enhanced siRNA and ASO delivery in 2D and 3D tumour spheroids

A novel transfection approach for gene therapy applications in 2D and 3D tumour models based on the use of mild photothermy mediated by AuNPs combined with visible laser irradiation that might pave the way for the spatial–temporal control of gene modulation - PAPER

Membrane-localized magnetic hyperthermia promotes intracellular delivery

We use membrane-localized magnetic hyperthermia to promote the internalization of cell-impermeant probes.

Nanoparticles for gene silecinging in 2D cell culture vs. 3D tumor spheroid

Transitioning from 2D to 3D models demands an understanding of altered internalization mechanisms and microenvironmental influences.

ARMS-HRMA for KRAS mutation detection in clinical samples

Liquid biopsies, and particularly the analysis of circulating tumor DNA, are emerging as an interesting means for diagnosis, prognosis, and predictive biomarker discovery.
