Polymersomes: tough vesicles made from diblock copolymers.
Vesicles were made from amphiphilic diblock copolymers and characterized by micromanipulation. The average molecular weight of the specific polymer studied, polyethyleneoxide-polyethylethylene (EO40-EE37), is several times greater than that of typical phospholipids in natural membranes. Both the membrane bending and area expansion moduli of electroformed polymersomes (polymer-based liposomes) f...
متن کاملBioactive hydrogels made from step-growth derived PEG-peptide macromers.
Synthetic hydrogels based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have been used as biomaterials for cell biology and tissue engineering investigations. Bioactive PEG-based gels have largely relied on heterobifunctional or multi-arm PEG precursors that can be difficult to synthesize and characterize or expensive to obtain. Here, we report an alternative strategy, which instead uses inexpensive and readi...
متن کاملTranslocation of bioactive peptides across cell membranes by carbon nanotubes.
Functionalised carbon nanotubes are able to cross the cell membrane and to accumulate in the cytoplasm or reach the nucleus without being toxic for the cell up to 10 [micro sign]M.
متن کاملBioactive cell-like hybrids coassembled from (glyco)dendrimersomes with bacterial membranes.
A library of amphiphilic Janus dendrimers including two that are fluorescent and one glycodendrimer presenting lactose were used to construct giant dendrimersomes and glycodendrimersomes. Coassembly with the components of bacterial membrane vesicles by a dehydration-rehydration process generated giant cell-like hybrid vesicles, whereas the injection of their ethanol solution into PBS produced m...
متن کاملAdhesion of Vesicles and Membranes
In the presence of an attractive surface, a vesicle can undergo shape transformations between two different free states, between a free and a bound state, and between two different bound states. Adhesion can also lead to topological changes such as vesicle rupture and vesicle fusion. The interaction between the vesicle membrane and the surface is renormalized by thermally excited shape fluctuat...
