Polymeric micelles, ie aggregation colloids formed in solution by self-assembling of
amphiphilic polymers, represent an innovative tool to overcome several issues related to …

Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable)
protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

Magnetic nanoparticles have received tremendous attention in diverse fields because of
their unique nanoscale physicochemical properties and the potential for a wide range of …

Biological signalling is regulated through a complex and tightly choreographed interplay
between cells and their extracellular matrix. The spatiotemporal control of these interactions …

In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

Proteins have long fascinated scientists since their complex sequences and diversity of
chemical functionality can lead to structurally defined folded chains with highly specific …

In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
reactions” has continually expanded, enabling chemists, materials scientists, and biologists …

Polymeric micelles, self-assembling nano-constructs of amphiphilic copolymers with a core-
shell structure have been used as versatile carriers for delivery of drugs as well as nucleic …

Externally triggerable drug delivery systems provide a strategy for the delivery of therapeutic
agents preferentially to a target site, presenting the ability to enhance therapeutic efficacy …

Stimuli-responsive block copolymer micelles are the topic of intense research since they are
