Control of targeting ligand display by pH-responsive polymers on gold nanoparticles mediates selective entry into cancer cells (2017)
Journal Article
Brazzale, C., Mastrotto, F., Moody, P., Watson, P., Balasso, A., Malfanti, A., Mantovani, G., Caliceti, P., Alexander, C., Jones, A., & Salmaso, S. (in press). Control of targeting ligand display by pH-responsive polymers on gold nanoparticles mediates selective entry into cancer cells. Nanoscale, 9(31), https://doi.org/10.1039/C7NR02595E

Selective targeting of cells for intracellular delivery of therapeutics represents a major challenge for pharmaceutical intervention in disease. Here we show pH triggered receptor-mediated endocytosis of nanoparticles via surface ligand exposure. Gol...

Effect of polymer topology on non-covalent polymer-protein complexation: miktoarm versus linear mPEG-poly(glutamic acid) copolymers (2017)
Journal Article
Nieto-Orellana, A., Di Antonio, M., Conte, C., Falcone, F. H., Bosquillon, C., Childerhouse, N., Mantovani, G., & Stolnik, S. (in press). Effect of polymer topology on non-covalent polymer-protein complexation: miktoarm versus linear mPEG-poly(glutamic acid) copolymers. Polymer Chemistry, 8(14), https://doi.org/10.1039/C7PY00169J

Non-covalent polymer-protein conjugation is emerging as a potential route to improve pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of protein therapeutics. In this study, a family of structurally related block copolymers of mPEG2k - poly(glutamic acid) with...
