OverviewAI-generated summary

Samir V. Jenkins is a faculty member at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research group focuses on the development and application of nanomaterials for therapeutic purposes, particularly in cancer treatment and regenerative medicine. Recent work includes investigating the enhanced photothermal heating of near-infrared dyes through conversion to self-assembled ionic nanomaterials and exploring the photothermal response of gold nanostructure-coated surfaces. Jenkins has also studied the role of nanoparticles in promoting neural stem cell differentiation and the formulation of liposomes for tumor-targeted drug delivery in conjunction with radiation therapy.

His publications also address biological aspects of disease, such as the proinflammatory activity of VEGF-targeted treatment and the exosomal microRNA and protein profiles of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Furthermore, his research has touched upon the effects of specific compounds on cancer cells, including the induction of reversible dormancy in lung tumor cells by CB-839. Jenkins is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 21, based on 73 total publications and 1,390 total citations. He collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
