To promote the application of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesterol (mPEG-Chol), mPEG-Chol was used to prepare core-shell micelles encapsulating poorly water-soluble docetaxel (DTX-PM) by modified cosolvent evaporation method. Approaches to enhance DTX entrapment efficiency (EE) and minimize particle size were investigated in

"Click" chemistry now offers access to a great variety of triazoles, and the first example of a strategy to stabilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a new 1,2,3-triazole-mPEG ligand is developed here together with preliminary examples of possible applications.

The effectiveness of systemically administered anticancer treatments is limited by difficulties in achieving therapeutic doses within tumors, a problem that is complicated by dose-limiting side effects to normal tissue. To increase the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of systemically administered

A functionalized poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) nanocarrier was designed and prepared to deliver anticancer drugs. The nanocarrier is a copolymer with a core-shell structure with 3.0 G PAMAM as the core and sequentially conjugated poly(2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (pDEA) and methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) 2000 (mPEG)

Alginate/chitosan/alginate (ACA) hydrogel microcapsules were modified with methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) to improve protein repellency and biocompatibility. Increased MPEG surface graft density (n(S)) on hydrogel microcapsules was achieved by controlling the grafting parameters including the buffer layer substrate, membrane thickness
