Microcapsules composed of weak polyelectrolytes modified with UV-responsive benzophenone (BP) groups were fabricated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. Being exposed to UV lights, capsules shrunk in the time course of minutes at irradiation intensity of 5 mW/cm(2). The shrinkage adjusted

This work investigated the capability of a new nanoparticulate system, based on terpolymer of starch, polymethacrylic acid and polysorbate 80, to load and release doxorubicin (Dox) as a function of pH and to evaluate the anticancer activity of Dox-loaded nanoparticles

The magnetic-targeting stimuli-responsive hollow polymeric microspheres show unique performance as the intelligent carriers for the site specific controlled delivery of drugs or genes. In the work, the well-defied dual-responsive double-walled hollow microspheres with movable magnetic cores were prepared from the
We developed a highly efficient, biocompatible surface coating that disperses bacterial biofilms through enzymatic cleavage of the extracellular biofilm matrix. The coating was fabricated by binding the naturally existing enzyme dispersin B (DspB) to surface-attached polymer matrices constructed via a
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 948, 121-132 (2012-10-17)
Bioreducible polycations, which possess disulfide linkages in the backbone, have appeared as promising gene delivery carriers due to their high stability in extracellular physiological condition and bioreduction-triggered release of genetic materials, as well as reduced cytotoxicity because intracellular cytosol is
