Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrimer biocompatibility and toxicity.
TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical experience gained during the development of polymeric excipients, biomedical polymers and polymer therapeutics shows that judicious development of dendrimer chemistry for each specific application will ensure development of safe and important materials for biomedical and pharmaceutical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel monodisperse PEG-dendrons as new tools for targeted drug delivery: synthesis, characterization and cellular uptake.
Manuela Berna,Daniele Dalzoppo,Gianfranco Pasut,Maria Manunta,Lorella Izzo,Arwyn Tomos Jones,Ruth Duncan,Francesco M. Veronese +7 more
TL;DR: This study synthesizes novel, branched PEG-based architectures for the first time to define their cytotoxicity and, via preparation of Oregon green (OG) conjugates, define the effect of structure on their cellular uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of subcellular fractionation techniques to monitor the intracellular fate of polymer therapeutics II. Identification of endosomal and lysosomal compartments in HepG2 cells combining single-step subcellular fractionation with fluorescent imaging
TL;DR: The combined subcellular fractionation with fluorescent imaging approach described here can be used as a tool for both fundamental cell biology research and/or the quantitative localisation of polymer therapeutics in the endocytic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
New fluorescence labeling isotactic polypropylenes as a tracer: a proof of concept
Stefania Pragliola,Fabia Grisi,Vissia Vitale,Olga Sacco,Vincenzo Venditto,Lorella Izzo,Annalisa Grimaldi,Nicolò Baranzini +7 more
TL;DR: Propylene-co-N copolymers containing a low amount of isolated PK units were prepared by using the isospecific homogeneous Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalytic system as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances in RO(CO)P of Bio-Based Monomers
TL;DR: The main advancement in this research field reported during the last seven years is described in this article , where the preparation of monomers from (renewable) bio-sources such as sugars, terpenes, fatty acids, and carbon dioxide with a focus on structurally novel substrates.
