Abstract
Control of the stretching or compressing ratio of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) leads to a dramatic change in the shape and size of particles based on amphiphilic biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide-b-ethylene glycol-b-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGE) triblock copolymers. Drug release, endocytosis and intracellular accumulation tests on these anisotropic PLGE NPs show significantly enhanced properties in comparison with spherical NPs, indicating they are good candidates for drug delivery.
