• Effect of ultrasound on the vasculature and extravasation of nanoscale particles imaged in real time 

      Yemane, Petros Tesfamichael; Åslund, Andreas K. O.; Snipstad, Sofie; Bjørkøy, Astrid; Grendstad, Kristin; Berg, Sigrid; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Torp, Sverre Helge; Hansen, Rune; Davies, Catharina de Lange (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Ultrasound and microbubbles have been found to improve the delivery of drugs and nanoparticles to tumor tissue. To obtain new knowledge on the influence of vascular parameters on extravasation and to elucidate the effect ...
    • Formulation and characterisation of drug-loaded antibubbles for image-guided and ultrasound-triggered drug delivery 

      Kotopoulis, Spiros; Lam, Christina; Haugse, Ragnhild; Snipstad, Sofie; Murvold, Elsa Thodesen; Jouleh, Tæraneh; Berg, Sigrid; Hansen, Rune; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Mccormack, Emmet Matin; Gilja, Odd Helge; Poortinga, Albert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The aim of this study was to develop high load-capacity antibubbles that can be visualized using diagnostic ultrasound and the encapsulated drug can be released and delivered using clinically translatable ultrasound. The ...
    • 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 ...
    • Sonopermeation Enhances Uptake and Therapeutic Effect of Free and Encapsulated Cabazitaxel 

      Snipstad, Sofie; Mørch, Ýrr; Sulheim, Einar; Åslund, Andreas; Pedersen, André; Hansen, Rune; Davies, Catharina de Lange; Berg, Sigrid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Delivery of drugs and nanomedicines to tumors is often heterogeneous and insufficient and, thus, of limited efficacy. Microbubbles in combination with ultrasound have been found to improve delivery to tumors, enhancing ...
    • Ultrasound Improves the Delivery and Therapeutic Effect of Nanoparticle-Stabilized Microbubbles in Breast Cancer Xenografts 

      Snipstad, Sofie; Berg, Sigrid; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Bjørkøy, Astrid; Sulheim, Einar; Hansen, Rune; Grimstad, Ingeborg; van Wamel, Annemieke; Maaland, Astri Fjelde; Torp, Sverre Helge; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Compared with conventional chemotherapy, encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticles can improve efficacy and reduce toxicity. However, delivery of nanoparticles is often insufficient and heterogeneous because of various ...
