(
Macedonian Pharmaceutical Association
, 2022 , Article)
The success of design criteria for long-circulating drug delivery systems to support membrane receptor-ligand interaction and internalization has been limited and there is a need to develop smarter approaches for efficient ...
Reduced Cardiotoxicity of Ponatinib-Loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA Nanoparticles in Zebrafish Xenograft Model.
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the new generation of anti-cancer drugs with high potential against cancer cells' proliferation and growth. However, TKIs are associated with severe cardiotoxicity, limiting their ...
Effect of Water-Pipe Smoking on the Normal Development of Zebrafish
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Background: Among all types of tobacco consumption,Water-Pipe Smoking (WPS) is the

Frontiers Media
, 2023 , Article)
Developmental Physiology can be broadly defined as the field of science aiming to
understand the physiological processes shaping a fertilized egg of a species into a wellstructured
and functional multi-cellular organism. ...
Hemodynamic Studies for Analyzing the Teratogenic Effects of Drugs in the Zebrafish Embryo.
(
Humana Press
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Investigations of teratogenic effects of drugs generally involve testing the drug on animals and zebrafish embryo is a commonly used animal model for that purpose. In these studies, cardiovascular function of the animals ...
