Hydrogel‐based drug delivery systems (DDSs) can leverage therapeutically beneficial
outcomes in cancer therapy. In this domain, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has become …

Although conventional chemotherapy has been successful to some extent, the main
drawbacks of chemotherapy are its poor bioavailability, high-dose requirements, adverse …

Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Nature employs a variety of tactics to precisely time and execute the processes and
mechanics of life, relying on sequential sense and response cascades to transduce …

In this review, we outline examples that illustrate the design criteria for achieving
macromolecular assemblies that incorporate a combination of two or more chemical …

This review focuses on smart nano-materials built of stimuli-responsive (SR) polymers and
will discuss their numerous applications in the biomedical field. The authors will first provide …

We describe a new temperature and electric field dual-stimulus responsive nanoparticle
system for programmed drug delivery. Nanoparticles of a conducting polymer (polypyrrole) …

Stimuli-responsive capsules are of interest in drug delivery, fragrance release, food
preservation, and self-healing materials. Many methods are used to trigger the release of …

Due to their nanometric size, dendrimers have been considered as potentially suitable as
new vehicles for drug delivery since their infancy. The association of a dendrimer and a drug …

Enzyme-responsive, amphiphilic self-assembly represents one of the increasingly significant
topics in biomaterials research and finds feasible applications to the controlled release of …
