Multilamellar hyaluronic acid-b-poly(lactic acid) polymersomes for pathology-responsive MRI enhancement†
This study introduces a biocompatible, stimuli-responsive imaging and therapeutic delivery system using ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs) encapsulated within the hyaluronic acid-b-poly(lactic acid) (HA–PLA) polymersome membrane, with a model protein bovine serum albumin in the core. These multilamellar vesicles exhibit enhanced T2-weighted MRI contrast, achieving a relaxivity 3-fold higher than existing agents. The polymersomes demonstrate acid- and enzyme-triggered degradation, enabling controlled release and measurable contrast changes in pathological environments. Preliminary in vivo and postmortem studies confirm their strong imaging performance, high biocompatibility, and targeted response to enzymatic, acidic microenvironments, paving the way for theranostic applications in disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring the science of biomaterials and their translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into the interaction of biomaterials with the body, and the use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions.
