To promote the application of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesterol (mPEG-Chol), mPEG-Chol was used to prepare core-shell micelles encapsulating poorly water-soluble docetaxel (DTX-PM) by modified cosolvent evaporation method. Approaches to enhance DTX entrapment efficiency (EE) and minimize particle size were investigated in
