The bottom-up assembly of biological and chemical components opens exciting
opportunities to engineer artificial vesicular systems for applications with previously unmet …

Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs), an important subclass of dendritic macromolecules, are
highly branched, three-dimensional globular nanopolymeric architectures. Attractive …

Naturally occurring, glycerol ethers are generally pure enantiomers, and batylic, chimylic,
and selachylic alcohols (Scheme 1) are the major ones which can be found in lipid …

We are on the verge of producing “synthetic cells,” or protocells, in which some, many or all
of the tasks of a real biological cell are harnessed into a synthetic platform. Such advances …

The self-reproduction of supramolecular assemblies based on the synthesis and self-
assembly of building blocks is a critical step towards the construction of chemical systems …

For drug delivery purposes, the ability to conveniently attach a targeting moiety that will
deliver drugs to cells and then enable controlled release of the active molecule after …

Artificial systems for controlled membrane fusion applicable for drug delivery would ideally
use triggers that are orthogonal to biology. To apply the strain-promoted alkyne–azide …

With contributions by leading experts, this book covers a wide range of topics. It describes
highlights in nanotechnology based on state-of-the-art principles in colloid and interface …

Five newly functionalized pentaazamacrocyclic manganese complexes, with variable
lengths and amounts of the aliphatic groups (three compounds with one linear chain …

We herein report a smart amphiphilic supramolecular complex ([MimA–EDA–MimA]@[DBS]
2) with stimuli-responsive self-assembly, constructed by 3-(3-formyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-1 …
