Design, functionalization strategies and biomedical applications of targeted biodegradable/biocompatible polymer-based nanocarriers for drug delivery

TL;DR: This review will focus on the nature of the polymers involved in the preparation of targeted nanocarriers, the synthesis methods to achieve the desired macromolecular architecture, the selected coupling strategy, and the choice of the homing molecules (vitamins, hormones, peptides, proteins, etc.), as well as the various strategies to display them at the surface of nanoccarriers.

Click Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of powerful, highly reliable, and selective reactions for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds and combinatorial libraries through heteroatom links (C-X-C), an approach called click chemistry is defined, enabled, and constrained by a handful of nearly perfect "springloaded" reactions.

Developments of a water-maze procedure for studying spatial learning in the rat

TL;DR: Developments of an open-field water-maze procedure in which rats learn to escape from opaque water onto a hidden platform are described, suggesting that they may lend themselves to a variety of behavioural investigations, including pharmacological work and studies of cerebral function.

In Vivo Imaging of Quantum Dots Encapsulated in Phospholipid Micelles

TL;DR: C encapsulated individual nanocrystals in phospholipid block–copolymer micelles acted as in vitro fluorescent probes to hybridize to specific complementary sequences and were followed to the tadpole stage, allowing lineage-tracing experiments in embryogenesis.
