Bottom‐up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.
