Bioinspired polymer vesicles and membranes for biological and medical applications

TL;DR: This work presents supramolecular polymer assemblies resulting from self-assembly of mostly amphiphilic copolymers either as 3D compartments either as polymersomes, PICsomes, peptosomes, or as planar membranes as candidates in applications ranging from drug delivery systems, up to artificial organelles, or active surfaces.
