Endocytosis is a fundamental process in which eukaryotic cells internalise molecules and
macromolecules via deformation of the membrane and generation of membrane-bound …

Polymeric vesicles, or polymersomes, are nano-to micrometre sized polymeric capsules with
a bilayered membrane. Applications of these vesicles are foreseen in nanomedicine, in vivo …

Polymeric materials formed via layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly have promise for use as drug
delivery vehicles. These multilayered materials, both as capsules and thin films, can …

Membranes can be fabricated either from lipid or polymer molecules, leading to the
formation of liposomes or polymersomes. In all types of liposomal membranes, the issue of …

Polymersomes provide a highly promising platform for mimicking biological membranes as
well as for controlled delivery of various pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. The …

Polymersomes have been proposed as a platform for drug delivery systems since late 90s.
They are exploited to deliver hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic therapeutic and diagnostic …

We report the self‐assembly of a series of amphiphilic diblock copolymers comprising a
biocompatible, hydrophilic block, poly (2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)(PMPC) …

Self‐assembly of macromolecules is fundamental to life itself, and historically, these systems
have been primitively mimicked by the development of amphiphilic systems, driven by the …

Biological systems exploit self-assembly to create complex structures whose arrangements
are finely controlled from the molecular to mesoscopic level. We report an example of using …

Compartmentalization, ie the ability to create controlled volumes and separate molecules
one from another is possibly the most important requisite for complex manipulations. Indeed …
