Polymersomes active targeting

The prepared polymeric vesicles were, indeed, functionalized with peptide targeting ligands in the aim to enhance cellular uptake and confer an active targeting modality to the vesicles. The resulted polyplex was followed in vitro by monitoring the encapsulated carboxyfluorescein and the obtained results confirmed that the prepared polymersomes represent a promising first generation model system for targeted delivery of siRNA.
