Self-assembly, which makes use of molecules rather than atomic units, offers a bottom-up
approach to the construction of new materials on multiple length scales.(1-9) By precisely …

Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be
classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such …

The excellent biocompatibility and unique inclusion capability as well as powerful
functionalization capacity of cyclodextrins and their derivatives make them especially …

The process of self-assembly spontaneously creates well-defined structures from various
chemical building blocks. Self-assembly can include different levels of complexity: it can be …

Research into macromolecular self-assembly has been progressively developing since the
1970s but with a little affect from the achievements of supramolecular chemistry. In recent …

The successful assembly of large supramolecular structures infers a delicate balance
between reversible noncovalent interactions which are capable of undergoing correction …

Peptide amphiphiles (PAs) are extremely attractive as molecular building blocks, especially
in the bottom-up fabrication of supramolecular soft materials, and have potential in many …

Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), as small non-coding RNA fragments, are one of the widely
studied RNAi inducers for gene modulations. The reasonably designed siRNA probes …

Over the past few decades, a range of vesicle-based drug delivery systems have entered
clinical practice and several others are in various stages of clinical translation. While most of …
