Abstract: A stimulus-responsive micellar carrier, methods that may be associated with making a stimulus-responsive micellar carrier, and methods that may be associated with using a stimulus-responsive micellar carrier are disclosed. The stimulus-responsive micellar carrier comprises a cargo molecule, and a linear block copolymer having a hydrophilic block connected to a hydrophobic block by a stimulus-responsive junction moiety. The micellar carrier can be supplied to a patient body for therapeutic purposes, such as the treatment of cancerous tissue. A method of preparing or obtaining a stimulus-responsive micellar carrier may include preparing a polyethylene glycol material having an acetal end group and then preparing a block copolymer by forming a reaction mixture including the polyethylene glycol material, a cyclic carbonate monomer, and a base.

Abstract: A method for formation of a vaccine comprising combining a cationic polymer adjuvant with an antigen to form first immunoparticles through charge interactions and producing a treatment formulation for the vaccine comprising the first immunoparticles.

Abstract: The subject matter of this invention relates to hydrogel compositions and, more particularly, to hydrogel compositions comprising block copolymers (BCPs) capable of self-assembly into nanoparticles for the delivery and controlled release of therapeutic cargos.

Abstract: The present invention mainly relates to a polymer for delivery of biologically active materials, a complex and a method of synthesis thereof. The polymer comprises a poly(ethylene imine) and at least one monomer, each monomer comprising a modified sugar moiety, preferably galactose, comprising a sulphur atom or a nitrogen atom and a chemical moiety comprising a terminal epoxide for linking the polyethylene imine to the monomer, wherein the sulphur atom or the nitrogen atom links the modified sugar moiety to the chemical moiety. The biologically active material is preferably a gene, siRNA, mRNA or plasmid DNA. Further disclosed is the medical use of said complex in treating a disease caused by a genetic disorder, for example cancer.
