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

"Click" chemistry now offers access to a great variety of triazoles, and the first example of a strategy to stabilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a new 1,2,3-triazole-mPEG ligand is developed here together with preliminary examples of possible applications.
