• Characterization of Porous Structures of Cellulose Nanofibrils Loaded with Salicylic Acid 

      McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Bleached and unbleached pulp fibers were treated with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) mediated oxidation to obtain cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). The resulting bleached and unbleached CNFs were mixed with ...
    • Incorporation of Fe@Au nanoparticles into multiresponsive pNIPAM-AAc colloidal gels modulates drug uptake and release 

      Bandyopadhyay, Sulalit; Andersen, Marte Kee; Awais, Muhammad; Sharma, Anuvansh; Raju, Rajesh; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Glomm, Wilhelm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Here, a synthetic method has been optimized for the synthesis of thermoresponsive and pH-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) nanogels which are subsequently loaded with cytochrome C by using a modified ...
    • L-DOPA-Coated Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles as Dual MRI Contrast Agents and Drug-Delivery Vehicles 

      McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Singh, Gurvinder; Hak, Sjoerd; Bandyopadhyay, Sulalit; Augestad, Ingrid Lovise; Peddis, Davide; Sandvig, Ioanna; Sandvig, Axel; Glomm, Wilhelm (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are capable of time‐dependent magnetic resonance imaging contrast switching as well as releasing a surface‐bound drug. MONPs give T2/T2* contrast, but dissolve and release T1‐active ...
    • Magnetic-Responsive Carbon Nanotubes Composite Scaffolds for Chondrogenic Tissue Engineering 

      Saranya, Muthusamy; da Silva, Aldeliane M.; Karjalainen, Hanna; Klinkenberg, Geir; Schmid, Ruth Baumberger; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Molesworth, Peter Patrick; Sigfúsdóttir, Margrét S.; Wågbø, Ane Marit; Santos, Susana. G.; Couto, Cristiana; Karjalainen, Ville-Pauli; Gupta, Shuvashis Das; Järvinen, Topias; de Roy, Luisa; Seitz, Andreas. M.; Finnilä, Mikko; Saarakkala, Simo; Haaparanta, Anne Marie; Janssen, Lauriane; Lorite, Gabriela S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The demand for engineered scaffolds capable of delivering multiple cues to cells continues to grow as the interplay between cell fate with microenvironmental and external cues is revealed. Emphasis has been given to develop ...
    • Nanoparticle-stabilized microbubbles for multimodal imaging and drug delivery 

      Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Hansen, Rune; Berg, Sigrid; Åslund, Andreas; Glomm, Wilhelm; Eggen, Siv; Schmid, Ruth; Johnsen, Heidi; Kubowicz, Stephan; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Hak, Sjoerd; Singh, Gurvinder; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Blom, Hans; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange; Stenstad, Per Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Microbubbles (MBs) are routinely used as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. The use of ultrasound in combination with MBs has also attracted attention as a method to enhance drug delivery. We have developed a technology ...
