Journal ArticleDOI
Probing cell internalisation mechanics with polymer capsules
Xi Chen,Jiwei Cui,Yuan Ping,Tomoya Suma,Francesca Cavalieri,Quinn A Besford,George Q. Chen,Julia A. Braunger,Frank Caruso +8 more
TL;DR: It was found that human monocyte-derived macrophage THP-1 cells exerted up to approximately 360 kPa on the capsules during internalisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuning the Properties of Polymer Capsules for Cellular Interactions.
TL;DR: The preparation of various polymer capsules with different compositions and properties via atom transfer radical polymerization mediated continuous assembly of polymers (CAPATRP) is reported, where the cellular interactions of these capsules, particularly fouling and specific targeting, are examined by flow cytometry and deconvolution microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering Enzyme-Cleavable Hybrid Click Capsules with a pH-Sheddable Coating for Intracellular Degradation
Sylvia T. Gunawan,Kang Liang,Georgina K. Such,Angus P. R. Johnston,Melissa K M Leung,Jiwei Cui,Frank Caruso +6 more
TL;DR: The engineering of layer-by-layer (LbL) hybrid click capsules that are responsive to biological stimuli is reported that comprise a pH-sheddable, non cross-linked outer coating that protects enzyme-cleavable inner layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocontrolled Cargo Release from Dual Cross-Linked Polymer Particles.
Shereen Tan,Jiwei Cui,Qiang Fu,Eunhyung Nam,Katharina Ladewig,Jing M. Ren,Edgar H. H. Wong,Frank Caruso,Anton Blencowe,Greg G. Qiao +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dual cross-linked particles (DCPs) were efficiently infiltrated by the biomacromolecule dextran (molecular weight up to 500 kDa) to provide high loadings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Poly(ethylene glycol) Molecular Architecture on Particle Assembly and Ex Vivo Particle-Immune Cell Interactions in Human Blood
Jiaying Song,Yi Ju,Thakshila Amarasena,Zhixing Lin,Srinivas Mettu,Jiajing Zhou,Arifur Rahim,Ching-Seng Ang,Christina Cortez-Jugo,Stephen J. Kent,Frank Caruso +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoporous silica (MS) templating method was used to generate PEG particles with a denser, stiffer structure, with increasing elastic modulus from 1.5 to 14.9 kPa, inducing an increasing level of immune cell association with monocytes.
