In this study, we synthesized empty core− shell structured nanocapsules of Pluronic F127
and chitosan and characterized the thermal responsiveness of the nanocapsules in size and …

In addition to their well-known critical role in energy metabolism, mitochondria are now
recognized as the location where various catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes …

The recognition of the role that mitochondria play in human health and disease is evidenced
by the emergence in recent decades of a whole new field of “Mitochondrial Medicine” …

Dye-labelled polymer chains are extremely useful in many fields, such as optical imaging,
signal amplification in biological diagnostics, light-harvesting and photochromic materials as …

For mitochondria‐targeting delivery, a coupling reaction between poly (ε‐caprolactone) diol
(PCL diol) and 4‐carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium (4‐carboxybutyl TPP) results in the …

Engineered nanoparticles have emerged as potentially revolutionary drug and gene
delivery vectors. Using rod-shaped gold nanoparticles as a model, we studied for the first …

A novel drug-delivery vehicle for mitochondria-targeted chemo-photothermal therapy was
demonstrated. A cytochrome c-specific binding aptamer was employed to make the …

Herein, we describe a new method for the synthesis of superhydrophilic poly (2-alkyl-2-
oxazoline) s (PAOx) from poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)(PEtOx). A well-defined linear …

The ability of cancer-targeted nanoparticles (NPs) to reach their site of action and evoke a
desired biological response after intravenous injection is critical to achieve clinically …

The applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT) are usually limited by photosensitizer's side
effect and the singlet oxygen's short half-life. Herein, we demonstrate a dual-targeting (both …
