Abstract

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-conjugated copolymer micelles were prepared from a mixture of diblock copolymers of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(delta-valerolactone) (MePEG-b-PVL) and EGF-PEG-b-PVL for targeted delivery to EGF receptor (EGFR)-overexpressing cancers. The block copolymers and functionalized block copolymers were synthesized using PEG as the macroinitiator and HCl-diethyl ether as the catalyst. The MePEG-b-PVL and the carboxyl-terminated PEG-b-PVL (HOOC-PEG-b-PVL) copolymers were found to have molecular weights of 5940 and 5900, respectively, as determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analyses. The HOOC-PEG-b-PVL copolymers were then activated by N-hydroxysuccinimide and subsequently reacted with EGF to form the EGF-PEG-b-PVL copolymers. The efficiency for the conjugation of EGF to the copolymer was found to be 60.9%. A hydrophobic fluorescent probe, CM-DiI, was loaded into both the nontargeted MePEG-b-PVL micelles and the targeted EGF-conjugated PEG-b-PVL micelles. The effective mean diameters of the CMDiI-loaded nontargeted and the CMDiI-loaded targeted micelles were found to be 32 +/- 1 nm and 45 +/- 2 nm, respectively, as determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The zeta potentials for...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
