Polymeric Crowding Agents Improve Passive Biomacromolecule Encapsulation in Lipid Vesicles
Large solutes such as high molecular weight proteins can be difficult to encapsulate in lipid vesicles. Passive trapping of these macromolecular solutes during vesicle formation typically results in concentrations inside the vesicles that are much lower than in the external solution. Here, we investigated the effect of macromolecular crowding on passive encapsulation of biological macromolecule...
متن کاملInkjet formation of unilamellar lipid vesicles for cell-like encapsulation.
Encapsulation of macromolecules within lipid vesicles has the potential to drive biological discovery and enable development of novel, cell-like therapeutics and sensors. However, rapid and reliable production of large numbers of unilamellar vesicles loaded with unrestricted and precisely-controlled contents requires new technologies that overcome size, uniformity, and throughput limitations of...
متن کاملPassive diffusion of polymeric surfactants across lipid bilayers.
Self-assembling polymeric surfactant, mmePEG(750)P(CL-co-TMC) [monomethylether poly(ethylene glycol)(750)-poly(caprolactone-co-trimethylene carbonate)], increases drug solubility and crosses an enterocyte monolayer both in vitro and in vivo. The aims of the present work were to investigate whether mmePEG(750)P(CL-co-TMC) polymers can diffuse passively through lipid bilayer using parallel artifi...
متن کاملSupramolecular polymeric peptide amphiphile vesicles for the encapsulation of basic fibroblast growth factor.
The synthesis of a supramolecular double hydrophilic peptide-conjugated polymer held together by cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) ternary complexation and its subsequent temperature triggered self-assembly into vesicles are described. Basic fibroblast growth factor can be easily loaded into the vesicles under benign conditions and their bioactivities can be preserved without the need for excipients such...
متن کاملProtein encapsulation in polymeric microneedles by photolithography
BACKGROUND Recent interest in biocompatible polymeric microneedles for the delivery of biomolecules has propelled considerable interest in fabrication of microneedles. It is important that the fabrication process is feasible for drug encapsulation and compatible with the stability of the drug in question. Moreover, drug encapsulation may offer the advantage of higher drug loading compared with ...
