Zhao Wang,Zhao Wang,Yijun Xie,Yiwen Li,Yuran Huang,Lucas R. Parent,Lucas R. Parent,Treffly B. Ditri,Nanzhi Zang,Nanzhi Zang,Jeffrey D. Rinehart,Nathan C. Gianneschi +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation and study of Mn(III)-, Fe(III), Co(II)-, Ni(II), Ni( II), Cu-II, Zn-II and Ga-III-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs) via autoxidation polymerization of metal and dopamine complexes was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proapoptotic Peptide Brush Polymer Nanoparticles via Photoinitiated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly
Hao Sun,Wei Cao,Nanzhi Zang,Tristan D. Clemons,Georg M. Scheutz,Ziying Hu,Matthew P. Thompson,Yifei Liang,Maria Vratsanos,Xuhao Zhou,Wonmin Choi,Brent S. Sumerlin,Samuel I. Stupp,Nathan C. Gianneschi +13 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the potential of photo-PISA in the large-scale synthesis of functional, proteolytically resistant peptide-polymer conjugates for intracellular delivery and demonstrate improved apoptosis efficiency in HeLa cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Relaxivity Gadolinium-Polydopamine Nanoparticles.
Zhao Wang,Zhao Wang,Fabio Carniato,Yijun Xie,Yuran Huang,Yiwen Li,Yiwen Li,Sha He,Nanzhi Zang,Jeffrey D. Rinehart,Mauro Botta,Nathan C. Gianneschi +11 more
TL;DR: Design parameters and a robust synthetic approach are highlighted that aid in the development of this scaffold for T1 -weighted, high relaxivity MRI contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances in Amphiphilic Polymer-Oligonucleotide Nanomaterials via Living/Controlled Polymerization Technologies.
Hao Sun,Lu Yang,Matthew P. Thompson,Steve Schara,Wei Cao,Wonmin Choi,Ziying Hu,Nanzhi Zang,Weihong Tan,Nathan C. Gianneschi +9 more
TL;DR: This review aims to highlight the main living polymerization approaches to polymer-oligonucleotide conjugates, including ring-opening metathesis polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerizations (RAFT), and ring- opening polymerization of cyclic esters and N-carboxyanhydride.
