Author(s)
Richard E. Cavicchi, Laura Philips, Fook Cheong, David Ruffner, Priya Kasimbeg, Wyatt N. Vreeland
Quantifying the heterogeneous nature of protein aggregates is important to understanding the impact aggregates may have on the performance of antibody therapeutics. The spatially averaged density p of aggregates, defined as the total mass, including water

Characterization of extracellular vesicles and artificial nanoparticles with four orthogonal single-particle analysis platforms

April 6, 2021

Emily Mallick, Tanina Arab, Yiyao Huang, Liang Dong, Zhaohao Liao, Zezhou Zhao, Barbara Smith, Norman J. Haughey, Kenneth Pienta, Barbara Slusher, Patrick Tarwater, Juan Pablo Tosar, Angela M. Zivkovic, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Michael E. Paulaitis, Kenneth W. Witwer
We compared four orthogonal technologies for sizing, counting, and phenotyping of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and synthetic particles. The platforms were: single-particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensing (SP-IRIS) with fluorescence

Measurement and Standardization Challenges for Exosome-Based Delivery Vectors

September 4, 2020
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Lili Wang, Samantha D. Maragh, Paul C. DeRose, Elzafir B. Elsheikh, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Ionita Ghiran, Jennifer Jones
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), and in particular exosomes, have the potential to revolutionize the development and efficient delivery of clinical therapeutics. In this Perspective, we focus on providing a brief introduction to the landscape of exosome-based

Microfluidic Remote Loading for Rapid Single-Step Liposomal Drug Preparation

July 29, 2014
Author(s)
Wyatt N. Vreeland, Renee R. Hood, Don L. DeVoe
Here we report a microfluidic system that enables rapid and efficient remote loading of amphipathic drugs into nanoscale liposomes, combining liposome synthesis and remote drug loading in a continuous integrated process. Unlike established bulk methods for

A Facile Route to the Synthesis of Monodisperse Nanoscale Liposomes Using 3D Microfluidic Hydrodynamic Focusing in a Concentric Capillary Array

May 14, 2014
Author(s)
Wyatt N. Vreeland, Renee R. Hood, Don L. DeVoe, Francisco J. Atencia, Donna M. Omiatek
A novel microscale device has been developed to enable the one-step continuous flow assembly of monodisperse nanoscale liposomes using three-dimensional microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing (3D-MHF) in a radially symmetric capillary array. The 3D-MHF flow

Microfluidic-Enabled of Liposomes Elucidate Size-Dependent Transdermal Transport

March 21, 2014
Author(s)
Wyatt N. Vreeland, Renee R. Hood, Eric Kendall, Don L. DeVoe, Julia Finkel, Mariana Junqueira, Zenaide Quezado
Microfluidic synthesis of small and nearly-monodisperse liposomes is used to investigate the size-dependent passive transdermal transport of nanoscale lipid vesicles. While large liposomes with diameters above 105 nm are found to be excluded from deeper

Microfluidic Synthesis of Nano-Liposomal Anesthetics

May 12, 2013
Author(s)
Wyatt N. Vreeland, Renee R. Hood, Eric Kendall, Mariana Junqueira, Julia Finkel, Don L. DeVoe
Topical anesthesia has the ability to provide painless application of pain management medications for minor procedures such as venipuncture, particularly in the pediatric population. Liposomes have been proposed as a highly advantageous nanocarrier for

Radiation-Induced Synthesis of Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) Nanogel

October 14, 2011
Author(s)
Jung-Chul An, Alia Weaver, Byungnam Kim, Aaron Barkatt, Dianne L. Poster, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Joseph Silverman, Mohamad Al-Sheikhly
Studies of the radiation-induced synthesis of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) nanogels, intended to provide a basis for obtaining intra-molecular cross-linked products, which are more useful in drug delivery, show that a sharp change in the controlling

A rapid, low-cost preparation of monodisperse niosomes in a microfluidic platform

June 1, 2010
Author(s)
Catherine T. Lo, Andreas Jahn, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Laurie E. Locascio
Niosomes are synthetic membrane vesicles made of self-assembled non-ionic surfactants (i.e. amphiphilic organic compounds). They bear the same properties as liposomes, namely having an aqueous interior that is separated from the exterior aqueous

Microfluidic Mixing and the Formation of Nanoscale Lipid Vesicles

April 27, 2010
