Cells are integral to all forms of life due to their compartmentalization by the plasma
membrane. However, living organisms are immensely complex. Thus there is a need for …

Vesicles are microscopic sacs that enclose a volume with a molecularly thin membrane. The
membranes are generally self-directed assemblies of amphiphilic molecules with a dual …

Protein-based therapeutics are an attractive alternative to established therapeutic
approaches and represent one of the fastest growing families of drugs. While many of these …

Abstract This Progress Report describes the latest advances in vesicles and liposomes.
Recent work on the self‐assembly of complex polymer systems shows that the formation of …

In nature, chemical conversions take place in a confined environment and are closely
geared to each other such that the product of one reaction is the substrate or catalyst of the …

In the past decade, polymersomes (also referred to as polymeric vesicles) have attracted
rapidly growing interest based on their intriguing aggregation phenomena, cell and virus …

Polymersomes are self-assembled polymer shells composed of block copolymer
amphiphiles. These synthetic amphiphiles have amphiphilicity similar to lipids, but they have …

Cancer therapy is a significant challenge due to insufficient drug delivery to the cancer cells
and non-selective killing of healthy cells by most chemotherapy agents. Nano-formulations …

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 …

Ultrasound has an ever-increasing role in the delivery of therapeutic agents, including
genetic material, protein and chemotherapeutic agents. Cavitating gas bodies, such as …
