Star-shaped block polymers for nanomedicine development / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Star-shaped block polymers have recently attracted considerable attention owing to their unique properties and applicability in nanomedicine development.Compare to linear polymer and hyper-branched polymers,star-shaped block polymers have more advantages due to the unique structure.Star-shaped block polymer has become a desirable molecular biomaterial for delivery therapeutics and diagnostic agent to the diseased cells.This paper reviews the research about star-shaped block polymers and nanomedicine development in using them as drug and gene delivery carriers.
