The excellent biocompatibility and unique inclusion capability as well as powerful functionalization capacity of cyclodextrins and their derivatives make them especially attractive for engineering novel functional materials for biomedical applications. There has been increasing interest recently to fabricate supramolecular systems for drug and gene delivery based on cyclodextrin materials. This review...
Double hydrophilic copolymers (PEG-b-PCDs) with one PEG block and another block containing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) units were synthesized by macromolecular substitution reaction. Via a dialysis procedure, complex assemblies with a core–shell structure were prepared using PEG-b-PCDs in the presence of a hydrophobic homopolymer poly(β-benzyl l-aspartate) (PBLA). The hydrophobic PBLA resided preferably...
Supramolecular nano-structures assembled by polymeric amphiphiles have been intensively studied during the last two decades. Such nanocarriers may be engineered to possess on-demand bio-responsitivity for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. The successful development of several nano-assembly-based polymer therapeutics further encouraged scientists to develop nano-vehicles to...
DNA self-assembly has been advocated as a bottom-up manufacturing technology (as applicable in the nano scales) and for algorithmic computation. However, previous research did not address the issue of designing a tile set for an arbitrary target pattern (as to ensure periodic repetition in its assembly) of finite size. This paper considers the synthesis of tile sets for DNA self-assembly and analyzes...
Self-assembly by DNA tiles has been advocated as a possible technique for bottom-up manufacturing of scaffolds in the nanoscale region. However, self-assembly is severely affected by facet roughening errors. A particularly effective error tolerant method utilizes snake tile sets with a square block of even dimension (i.e. 2 k times 2 k) of tiles. Snake tile sets of odd dimension (i.e. (2 k - 1) x...
