Abstract
Front Cover: Cylindrical bottlebrush polymers (CBPs) enable precise control over nanoparticle properties via polymer synthesis. Here, a grafting-from approach utilizing a polylysine backbone enabled the formation of amphiphilic polypept(o)ide-based side chains by sequential NCA-ROP, which provides convenient access to core-shell CBPs. These core-shell architectures combine Dasatinib-loading and sustained release kinetics with cellular uptake and therapeutic efficacy in glioblastoma cells. More details can be found in article 2500083 by Heyang Zhang, Matthias Barz, and co-workers.
