Polymersomes Eradicating Intracellular Bacteria [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2020 Mononuclear phagocytes such as monocytes, tissue-specific macrophages, and dendritic cells are primary actors in both innate and adaptive immunity. These professional phagocytes can be parasitized by intracellular bacteria, turning them from housekeepers to hiding places and favoring chronic and/or disseminated infection.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2023 The contents of biological cells are retained within compartments formed of phospholipid membranes. The movement of material within and between cells is often mediated by the fusion of phospholipid membranes, which allows mixing of contents or excretion of material into the surrounding environment.

Adaptive Polymersome Nanoreactors [PDF]
ChemNanoMat, 2019 AbstractAdaptive polymersome systems have gained much interest in a wide variety of research fields, ranging from cell mimics to nanomedicine, because of their high stability, tunable shape and size. Furthermore, polymersomes can be effectively transformed into nanoreactors via the incorporation of catalytic species. By employing polymersomes which are

Paramagnetic Porous Polymersomes [PDF]
Langmuir, 2008 The ability of chelated Gd to serve as an effective magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent largely depends on fast exchange rates between the Gd-bound water molecules and the surrounding bulk water. Because water diffuses slowly across lipid bilayers, liposomes with encapsulated chelated Gd have not been widely adopted as MR contrast agents.

A facile method for anti-cancer drug encapsulation into polymersomes with a core-satellite structure
Drug Delivery, 2022 Polymersomes possess the self-assembly vesicular structure similar to liposomes. Although a variety of comparisons between polymersomes and liposomes in the aspects of physical properties, preparation and applications have been elaborated in many studies,

Preparation and characterization of PCL-PEG-PCL polymersomes for delivery of clavulanic acid
Cogent Medicine, 2016 The Clavulanic acid (CLV) is a suicide inhibitor of bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes from Streptomyces clavuligerus. In the present study, a reliable drug delivery system using poly (ε-caprolactone)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG ...
