Tailoring pH-responsive acrylic acid microgels with hydrophobic crosslinks for drug release [PDF]
, 2015 Amphiphilic microgels based on the hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA) and hydrophobic crosslinks of different compositions were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device. The microgels were formed by polymerising hydrophobic droplets.

Licensing microgels prolong the immunomodulatory phenotype of mesenchymal stromal cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are sensors of inflammation, and they exert immunomodulatory properties through the secretion of cytokines and exosomes and direct cell-cell interactions.

Microfluidically fabricated pH-responsive anionic amphiphilic microgels for drug release [PDF]
, 2015 © 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Amphiphilic microgels of different composition based on the hydrophilic, pH-responsive acrylic acid (AA) and the hydrophobic, non-ionic n-butyl acrylate (BuA) were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device ...

Internal structure and swelling behaviour of in silico microgel particles [PDF]
, 2017 Microgels are soft colloids that, in virtue of their polymeric nature, can react to external stimuli such as temperature or pH by changing their size. The resulting swelling/deswelling transition can be exploited in fundamental research as well as for ...

Modelling microgels with controlled structure across the volume phase transition
, 2019 Thermoresponsive microgels are soft colloids that find widespread use as model systems for soft matter physics. Their complex internal architecture, made of a disordered and heterogeneous polymer network, has been so far a major challenge for computer ...

Emulsions stabilised by whey protein microgel particles: Towards food-grade Pickering emulsions [PDF]
, 2014 We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt.
