The present invention concerns amphiphilic copolymers that may be photo- or redox-cleavable and that may assemble into polymersomes. It also concerns their process of preparation and their use as ding carriers.

The present invention relates to a drug delivery composition comprising colloidal drug carriers, the composition and a polypeptide for use as a medicament, and in the treatment of neural and neurovascular diseases such as Alzheimer's diseases, and the use of colloidal drug carriers for the production of a drug delivery composition.

The disclosure is generally related to nanoparticles have an oxidized tumor cell lysate encapsulated therein and oligonucleotides on the surface thereof. Methods of making and using the nanoparticles are also provided herein.

The disclosure provides liposomes (e.g., cancer-targeting liposomes) with ligands (e.g., EGFR ligands and ICAM-1 ligands) conjugated to liposome surfaces. In some embodiments, the molecular ratio of different ligands complement the relative molecular density (i.e., ratio) of overexpressed protein on the surface of a cell targeted by the liposome (e.g., cancer cell).

The present invention provides methods to treating inflammation related disease and disorders such as an autoimmune disease and autoimmune related uveitis by administering compositions and formulations comprising MetAP-2 inhibitors as disclosed herein. The composition comprises a formulation of a fumagillol derivative that retains anti-inflammation activity and is associated with a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic polymer moiety and a hydrophobic polymer moiety.

The invention relates to conjugates in which a sterol is functionalized by an ether bond with a water-soluble polymer to which a guiding ligand is bound. These conjugates improve the physico-chemical and delivery properties of their carrying vesicles, making these more stable, homogeneous and effective. A method for their preparation, a pharmaceutical composition containing said liposomes, and their therapeutic use are described as well.

According to some embodiments, the present invention provides compositions and methods for making and using multifunctional polymerized liposomes finding relevant application in medical sciences, particularly in bioimaging, diagnostics, drug delivery, and drug formulation. The compositions and methods involve lipids that are both polymerizable and have a “clickable” group that provides the ability to functionalize via a click reaction with various functional moieties useful for the above-listed applications.
