In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly
(PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various …

Cells are integral to all forms of life due to their compartmentalization by the plasma
membrane. However, living organisms are immensely complex. Thus there is a need for …

Electrochemical biosensors and associated lab-on-a-chip devices are the analytical system
of choice when rapid and on-site results are needed in medical diagnostics and food safety …

Protein-based therapeutics are an attractive alternative to established therapeutic
approaches and represent one of the fastest growing families of drugs. While many of these …

Bottom‐up synthetic biology is the science of building systems that mimic the structure and
function of living cells from scratch. To do this, researchers combine tools from chemistry …

Carriers are equally important as drugs. They can substantially improve bioavailability of
cargos and safeguard healthy cells from toxic effects of certain therapeutics. Recently …

Liposomes and polymersomes are colloidal vesicles that are self-assembled from lipids and
amphiphilic polymers, respectively. Because of their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic …

Molecular imprinting technology (MIT), often described as a method of making a molecular
lock to match a molecular key, is a technique for the creation of molecularly imprinted …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic system that constantly offers physical,
biological, and chemical signals to embraced cells. Increasing evidence suggests that …

Recently, owing to well-controlled release, enhanced distribution and increased
permeability, nanocarriers used for alternative drug and food-delivery strategies have …
