On the double: A highly packed interlayer‐crosslinked micelle (HP‐ICM) with pH and reduction sensitivity was developed for targeted drug release (see picture; DTT=dithiothreitol, red circles=doxorubicin). The HP‐ICM suppresses drug leakage in blood circulation while rapidly releasing drug inside lysosomes of cancer cells. Biological studies revealed the potential of the dual‐sensitive HP‐ICM in cancer treatment.
Dual aktivierbar: In einer dichtgepackten Micelle mit vernetzten Schichten (HP‐ICM; highly packed interlayer‐crosslinked micelle), die auf Änderung des pH‐Werts und chemische Reduktion reagiert (siehe Bild; DTT=Dithiothreitol, rote Kreise=Doxorubicin), bleibt der Wirkstoff beim Transport durch den Blutkreislauf sicher gespeichert und wird in den Lysosomen von Krebszellen rasch freigesetzt. Biologische Studien belegen das Potenzial dieser HP‐ICM in der Krebstherapie.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
