Small. 2016 Aug;12(31):4185-92. doi: 10.1002/smll.201601234. Epub 2016 Jul 4.

Abstract

A strategy to precisely engineer lipidoid-telodendrimer binary hybrid nanoparticles that offer enhanced cell membrane permeability for therapeutic proteins to reach the intracellular targets is established. The highly controllable biochemical and physical properties of the nanoparticles make them promising for protein-based brain cancer treatment with the assistance of convection-enhanced delivery.

Keywords: glioblastoma; lipidoids; nanoparticles; protein delivery; telodendrimers.
