Journal ArticleDOI
Comb-type grafted hydrogels with rapid deswelling response to temperature changes
Ryo Yoshida,Katsumi Uchida,Yuzo Kaneko,Kiyotaka Sakai,Akihiko Kikuchi,Yasuhisa Sakurai,Teruo Okano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a crosslinked polymeric hydrogel with grafted side chains was used to induce rapid de-swelling by tailoring the polymeric gel architecture at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel recovery system for cultured cells using plasma-treated polystyrene dishes grafted with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
TL;DR: Property of cell culture surfaces can be readily transformed by this technique reversibly into hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings of PIPAAm-grafted polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-responsive polymeric surfaces; control of attachment and detachment of cultured cells
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of cell detachment from temperature-modulated, hydrophilic–hydrophobic polymer surfaces
TL;DR: Cell detachment was partially inhibited by sodium azide treatment, suggesting that cell metabolism directly affects cell detachment, and Morphological changes of the adherent cells during cell detachment experiments indicated further involvement of active cellular metabolic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doxorubicin-loaded poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(β-benzyl-l-aspartate) copolymer micelles: their pharmaceutical characteristics and biological significance
Kazunori Kataoka,Tsuyoshi Matsumoto,Masayuki Yokoyama,Teruo Okano,Yasuhisa Sakurai,Shigeto Fukushima,Kazuya Okamoto,Glen S. Kwon +7 more
TL;DR: A remarkable improvement in blood circulation of DOX was achieved by use of PEG-PBLA micelle as a carrier presumably due to the reduced reticuloendothelial system uptake of the micelles through a steric stabilization mechanism.
