Recent Advances in the Application of ATRP in the Synthesis of Drug Delivery Systems

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarized recent developments in the synthesis of bio-therapeutics for drug delivery based on linear and branched block copolymers and bioconjugates using ATRP, which have been tested in drug delivery systems (DDSs) over the past decade.

Theory of self-assembly of lipid bilayers and vesicles

TL;DR: A unified theory is developed that explains the formation of bilayers and vesicles and accounts quantitatively for many of their physical properties: properties including vesicle size distributions and bilayer elasticity emerge from a unified theory that links thermodynamics, interaction free energy, and molecular geometry.
