Stimuli-responsive polymersomes for cancer therapy.
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality and remains a major challenge for modern chemotherapy. Recent advances in cancer therapy have made a modest impact on patient survival. Nanomedicine represents an innovative field with significant potential to improve cancer treatment. Nanomedicine utilizes numerous nanoconstructs, including polymersomes, micelles, and drug conjugates, to deliver therape...
متن کاملCatalyzed Bimolecular Reactions in Responsive Nanoreactors
We describe a general theory for surface-catalyzed bimolecular reactions in responsive nanoreactors, catalytically active nanoparticles coated by a stimuli-responsive "gating" shell, whose permeability controls the activity of the process. We address two archetypal scenarios encountered in this system: the first, where two species diffusing from a bulk solution react at the catalyst's surface, ...
متن کاملCross-linked polymersomes as nanoreactors for controlled and stabilized single and cascade enzymatic reactions.
Polymeric vesicles or polymersomes are one of the supramolecular entities at the leading edge of synthetic biology. These small compartments have shown to be feasible candidates as nanoreactors, especially for enzymatic reactions. Once cross-linked and equipped with a pH sensitive material, the reaction can be switched off (pH 8) and on (pH 6) in accordance with the increased permeability of th...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles: Optimization, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics of Biosorption
Green nanotechnology with the goal of producing sustainable nanomaterials in an eco-friendly approach is becoming an increasing necessity for nanomanufacturing industries. In this regards, biosynthesis is well adopted as a viable method for producing benign nanoparticles for biomedical application. The present study aimed at optimization and study of the effects of external stimuli pH and gold ...
متن کاملStimuli-Responsive Polymer Nanotube Arrays
Nanotube arrays, composed of materials such as carbon, titania, and zinc oxide, have shown potential as conductors, energy conversion devices, actuators, and adhesives. Such nanoscale constructs are particularly novel for their high area-to-volume and length-to-diameter aspect ratios that lead to physical and chemical properties more interesting than their bulk counterparts. However, the stimul...
