Lighting up Macrophage Reprogramming Assists Immunosuppressive Niche Modulation in Primary Tumors and Tumor‐Draining Lymph Nodes of Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an intelligent NIR‐II‐responsive nanoplatform to combat immunosuppression in breast cancer. It enables real‐time visualization of macrophage activity via “off‐on” fluorescence while simultaneously reprogramming macrophages through the CSF‐1R and CD47‐SIRPα pathways.

Synthesis and Interfacial Behavior of Mixed Potassium N‐Lauroyl/N‐Myristoyl Glycinate Surfactants With Varying Alkyl Chain Ratios

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable and low‐irritant amino acid–based surfactants have attracted considerable attention as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum‐derived surfactants. In this study, a series of acyl amino acid surfactants with identical amino acid head groups but different alkyl chain lengths were synthesized via a modified ...

Lipophilic Diol Induced Micellization of Pluronic F88 in Water

, 2009
The presence of a lipophilic S104 (also known as C14diol) induces micellization in a highly hydrophilic ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide triblock copolymer Pluronic F88 [(EO)103(PO)39-(EO)103] in water. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) and

The Binding of Pentadiyl‐α,ω‐Bis(Dimethyldodecylammonium), a Cationic Gemini 12‐5‐12 Surfactant to Conjugated Carboxylates as Organic Counterions

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of the cationic gemini surfactant pentadiyl‐α,ω‐bis(dimethyldodecylammonium) bromide depend on the hydrophobicity of added conjugated organic carboxylate anions. Nine conjugated counterions, present as sodium salts of organic acids, were studied to expand the correlation to the counterion ...

Sulfonium‐Based Antimicrobial Block Copolymers: Influence of Hydrophobicity on Biological Activity and Antibiotic Synergy

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Sulfonium‐based antimicrobial block copolymers combine an active cationic hydrophobic block with a neutral hydrophilic block to improve cytocompatibility. The hydrophobicity of the sulfonium‐based block controls the activity against S. aureus and E coli.

Thermodynamics of micellization of oppositely charged polymers

, 2003
The complexation of oppositely charged colloidal objects is considered in this paper as a thermodynamic micellization process where each kind of object needs the others to micellize.
