    • The pivotal role of angiogenesis in a multi-scale modeling of tumor growth exhibiting the avascular and vascular phases 

      Salavati, Hooman; Soltani, Madjid; Amanpour, Saeid (Elsevier, 2018-09-01)
      The mechanisms involved in tumor growth mainly occur at the microenvironment, where the interactions between the intracellular, intercellular and extracellular scales mediate the dynamics of tumor. In this work, we present ...

    • A platinum shell for ultraslow ligand exchange: unmodified DNA adsorbing more stably on platinum than thiol and dithiol on gold 

      Zhou, Wenhu; Ding, Jinsong; Liu, Juewen (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-08-04)
      Due to the ultraslow ligand exchange rate on Pt, non-thiolated DNA is adsorbed on platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) more stably than thiolated and even dithiolated DNA on AuNPs. Adsorption kinetics, capacity and stability are ...
