TL;DR: Chemistries that Facilitate Nanotechnology Kim E. Sapsford,† W. Russ Algar, Lorenzo Berti, Kelly Boeneman Gemmill,‡ Brendan J. Casey,† Eunkeu Oh, Michael H. Stewart, and Igor L. Medintz .
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendron-Mediated Self-Assembly, Disassembly, and Self-Organization of Complex Systems

TL;DR: The structural origin of chirality in different supramolecular structures through combinations of structural analysis methods has been investigated in this article, where the most ideal building blocks would need to display shape persistence in solution and in the solid state, since only this feature provides access to the use of complementary methods of structural analyses.

Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile vector for gene and oligonucleotide transfer into cells in culture and in vivo: polyethylenimine

TL;DR: Together, these properties make PEI a promising vector for gene therapy and an outstanding core for the design of more sophisticated devices because its efficiency relies on extensive lysosome buffering that protects DNA from nuclease degradation, and consequent lysOSomal swelling and rupture that provide an escape mechanism for the PEI/DNA particles.

Block copolymer micelles for drug delivery: design, characterization and biological significance

TL;DR: The utility of polymeric micelles formed through the multimolecular assembly of block copolymers as novel core-shell typed colloidal carriers for drug and gene targeting and their feasibility as non-viral gene vectors is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of polymers: Starburst-dendritic macromolecules

TL;DR: Starburst polymers as mentioned in this paper are a class of topological macromolecules which are derived from classical monomers/oligomers by their extraordinary symmetry, high branching and maximized terminal functionality density.
