TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the recent advances in PLL-based nanomaterials in these biomedical fields over the last decade by describing the synthesis of PLL and its derivatives and the main text of their recent biomedical applications and translational studies.

TL;DR: The in vitro antibacterial investigation reveals that unnatural amino‐acid‐based star‐shaped poly(l‐ornithine)s have remarkable proteolytic stability, excellent biofilm‐disrupting capacity, and broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity, even against difficult‐to‐kill Gram‐negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: Light is shed on the possibility of endowing a polymeric carrier with therapeutic effect and thus offered a promising strategy for achieving a comprehensive treatment of bacterial infection-involved multifactorial diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, a star-shaped copolymers ZnPc-g-PLO with a zinc phthalocyanine core and four poly(l-ornithine) (PLO) arms were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as dual-functional antimicrobial agents, that is, intrinsic membrane damage and photothermal ablation capacity.

TL;DR: In this paper , a review summarizes recent advances in the formation of nanostructured organic photosensitizer aggregates, their photophysical processes, and their applications in disease phototheranostics such as fluorescence imaging and sensing, photothermal therapy, photoacoustic imaging, and photodynamic therapy.
