Boronic acid liposomes for cellular delivery and content release driven by carbohydrate binding

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jun 12;54(48):6169-6172. doi: 10.1039/c8cc00820e.

Abstract

Boronic acid liposomes enable triggered content release and cell delivery driven by carbohydrate binding. Dye release assays using hydrophilic and hydrophobic fluorophores validate dose-dependent release upon carbohydrate treatment. Microscopy results indicate dramatic enhancements in cell delivery, showcasing the prospects of boronic acid lipids for drug delivery.
