Polymeric micelles (PMs) have been widely investigated as nanocarriers for drug delivery
and cancer treatments due to their excellent physicochemical properties, drug loading and …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
reactions” has continually expanded, enabling chemists, materials scientists, and biologists …

Paclitaxel (PTX) and docetaxel (DTX) are key members of taxanes with high anti-tumor
activity against various cancer cells. These chemotherapeutic agents suffer from a number of …

Photosensitizers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics are of great
interest for cancer theranostics involving both fluorescence imaging and photodynamic …

Abstract ο-Nitrobenzyl (ONB) derivatives are one of the most investigated photo-responsive
functional group that features irreversible photolysis under a light stimulus. They are ease of …

Redox potential is regarded as a significant signal to distinguish between the extra-cellular
and intra-cellular environments, as well as between tumor and normal tissues. Taking …

Stimuli-responsive polymeric micelles have served as an emerging and interesting platform
for poorly soluble drug delivery towards cancer therapy in response to exogenous stimuli …

Here we report a novel quadruple-stimuli-responsive block copolymer nanocarrier sensitive
to pH, temperature, light, and reducing agent. The well-defined amphiphilic diblock …
