Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Modelling of a Magnetic Polymersome

Nanomaterials, 2018
A coarse-grained molecular dynamics framework is proposed to investigate the equilibrium structure and quasi-static deformational response of a magnetic polymersome, a hollow object whose magnetoactive part is its shell (membrane).

Scientific iconoclasm and active imagination: synthetic cells as techo-schientific mandalas [PDF]

, 2018
Metaphors allow us to come to terms with abstract and complex information, by comparing it to something which is structured, familiar and concrete. Although modern science is “iconoclastic”, as Gaston Bachelard phrases it, scientists are at the same time

Peptide‐Incorporated Biomaterials Promote Regeneration of Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Peptide‐incorporated biomaterials provide precise, tunable biological cues that mimic functional protein domains to regulate behaviors of neurons, Schwann cells, immune cells, and endothelial cells, thereby enhancing axon elongation, Schwann cell support, inflammatory microenvironment modulation, and vascularization, offering a promising alternative to

Programmable Enzymatic Reaction Network in Artificial Cell‐Like Polymersomes

Advanced Science
The ability to precisely control in vitro enzymatic reactions in synthetic cells plays a crucial role in the bottom‐up design of artificial cell models that can recapitulate the key cellular features and functions such as metabolism. However, integration

Click on Click: Click-Flavone Glycosides Encapsulated in Click-Functionalised Polymersomes for Glioblastoma Therapy

Pharmaceutics
In this study, three new 3,7-dihydroxyflavone (1) derivatives with different sugars were designed and synthesised by click chemistry. Click chemistry requires the previously modification of building blocks with azide and alkyne groups and therefore, the ...

Microfluidic Droplet-Facilitated Hierarchical Assembly for Dual Cargo Loading and Synergistic Delivery. [PDF]

, 2016
Bottom-up hierarchical assembly has emerged as an elaborate and energy-efficient strategy for the fabrication of smart materials. Herein, we present a hierarchical assembly process, whereby linear amphiphilic block copolymers are self-assembled into ...

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Energetic and Entropic Motifs in Vesicle Morphogenesis in Amphiphilic Diblock Copolymer Solutions

Colloids and Interfaces
Coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulations are employed to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of vesicles (polymersomes) via self-assembly of randomly distributed amphiphilic diblock copolymers PB-PEO (Poly(Butadiene)-b-Poly(Ethylene Oxide)) in ...

Formation of non-spherical polymersomes driven by hydrophobic directional aromatic perylene interactions

Nature Communications, 2017
Polymersomes have become a powerful tool in drug delivery and synthetic biology, but their use can be restricted by a lack of versatile methods for shape control. Here the authors demonstrate access to a range of non-spherical polymersome morphologies by
