Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks Based on End-Linked "core-First" Star Block Copolymers: Structure Formation with Long-Range Order
(2015)Amphiphilic polymer conetworks are cross-linked polymers that swell both in water and in organic solvents and can phase separate on the nanoscale in the bulk or in selective solvents. To date, however, this phase separation ...

Angiotensin inhibition enhances drug delivery and potentiates chemotherapy by decompressing tumour blood vessels
(2013)Cancer and stromal cells actively exert physical forces (solid stress) to compress tumour blood vessels, thus reducing vascular perfusion. Tumour interstitial matrix also contributes to solid stress, with hyaluronan ...
