Allen M, Sun Y, Chan C, Paez-Perez M, Ces O, Elani Y, et al.
Small . 2025 Mar; :e2411220. PMID: 40042428
Stimuli-responsive polymeric vesicles offer a versatile platform for mimicking dynamic cell-like behaviors for synthetic cell applications. In this study, thermally responsive polymeric droplets derived from poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(butylene oxide) (PEO-PBO) polymersomes,...

Acosta-Gutierrez S, Matias D, Avila-Olias M, Gouveia V, Scarpa E, Forth J, et al.
ACS Cent Sci . 2022 Aug; 8(7):891-904. PMID: 35912343
Phenotypic targeting requires the ability of the drug delivery system to discriminate over cell populations expressing a particular receptor combination. Such selectivity control can be achieved using multiplexed-multivalent carriers often...

Contini C, Hu W, Elani Y
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2022 Mar; 58(28):4409-4419. PMID: 35298578
Polymeric porous capsules represent hugely promising systems that allow a size-selective through-shell material exchange with their surroundings. They have vast potential in applications ranging from drug delivery and chemical microreactors...

Walczak M, Brady R, Mancini L, Contini C, Rubio-Sanchez R, Kaufhold W, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Aug; 12(1):4743. PMID: 34362911
Biology has evolved a variety of agents capable of permeabilizing and disrupting lipid membranes, from amyloid aggregates, to antimicrobial peptides, to venom compounds. While often associated with disease or toxicity,...

PLoS One . 2020 Nov; 15(11):e0240197. PMID: 33186380
We investigated how the shape of polymeric vesicles, made by the exact same material, impacts the replication activity and metabolic state of both cancer and non-cancer cell types. First, we...
