Targeting Neutrophilic Inflammation using Polymersome-Mediated Cellular Delivery [PDF]
, 2017 Neutrophils are key effector cells in inflammation and play an important role in neutralizing invading pathogens. During inflammation resolution, neutrophils undergo apoptosis before they are removed by macrophages, but if apoptosis is delayed ...

Photoactivated Polymersome Nanomotors: Traversing Biological Barriers [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020 AbstractSynthetic nanomotors are appealing delivery vehicles for the dynamic transport of functional cargo. Their translation toward biological applications is limited owing to the use of non‐degradable components. Furthermore, size has been an impediment owing to the importance of achieving nanoscale (ca.

Photopolymerization-Induced Polymersome Rupture [PDF]
Langmuir, 2019 Poly(butadiene)- b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PBut2.5- b-PEO1.3) giant polymersomes were prepared using an emulsion-centrifugation method. The impact of a fast decrease of the osmotic pressure inside the lumen of giant PBut- b-PEO vesicles was studied by confocal microscopy. This osmotic imbalance was created by performing the photoinduced polymerization of
