Regulating vesicle bilayer permeability and selectivity via stimuli-triggered polymersome-to-PICsome transition

Nature Communications, 2020
Polyion complex vesicles have advantageous applications but have poorly tuneable permeability and nanostructure stability. Here, the authors develop polyion complex vesicles created using a stimuli-triggered transition from polymersomes and show high ...
