Vesicles formed in water by synthetic macro-amphiphiles have attracted much attention as
nanocontainers having properties that extend the physical and chemical limits of liposomes …

Massively cross-linked and property-tunable membranes have been fabricated by free
radical polymerization of self-assembled, block copolymer vesicles− polymersomes. Similar …

Polymer vesicles, commonly called polymersomes, are spherical shell structures in which an
aqueous compartment is enclosed by a bilayer membrane made from amphiphilic block …

We have designed oxidation-responsive vesicles from synthetic amphiphilic block
copolymers (“polymersomes”) of ethylene glycol and propylene sulfide. Thioethers in the …

One strategy in modern medicine is the development of new platforms that combine
multifunctional compounds with stable, safe carriers in patient-oriented therapeutic …

Provided the right hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance can be achieved, amphiphilic block
copolymers are able to assemble in water into membranes. These membranes can enclose …

Polymer vesicles, or polymersomes, are promising candidates for applications in drug
delivery and tissue imaging. While a vast variety of polymers have been explored for their …

The full capabilities of membrane proteins in bionanotechnology can only be realised
through improvements in their reconstitution environments that combine biocompatibility to …

The design and construction of integrated chemical ensembles for studying complex
biological systems is attracting considerable interest in a wide range of research …

In living organisms enzymatic reactions occur in precisely defined time and space. An
