The first includes polymeric carriers that use covalent chemistry for direct drug conjugation (e.g., linear polymers). The second group includes hydrophobic interactions between drugs and ...

Diagram illustrating the structure of polymeric nanoparticles, showcasing the difference between a nanosphere (left) with its entangled polymer matrix and a nanocapsule (right) with a distinct ...

"Our polymer cubosomes fully degrade into harmless lactic acid and phosphate derivatives," emphasizes Prof. Wurm. "This makes ...

We can easily change the polymer structure and the repeating units to allow the carrier to deliver hydrophobic drugs, hydrophilic drugs, or therapeutic nucleic acids. It is fascinating because one can ...

dendrimers [among polymer-based carriers], nanogels, crosslinked bovine serum albumin 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl hapten, solid lipid nanoparticles [among nanosized drug carriers]) are in ...

"Biodegradable cationic polymers as efficient gene delivery carriers ... "Core-surface crosslinked nanoparticles as drug delivery carrier". International Journal of Pharmacy, submitted.

Mucus presents a formidable barrier to nanoparticle drug-delivery systems, but adding a coating of polymer molecules helps them sneak through the net. Mucus, the amorphous, sticky substance that ...

The absence of a polymer as drug carrier facilitates fast endothelialization and avoids inflammatory foreign body reactions.
