The formation of aggregates due to protein misfolding and resulting protein instability is associated with several diseases. Previous studies have shown the potential of sulfobetaine polymer, a ...

Polymeric ion compounds can bind together with plasmid DNA to form a drug delivery vehicle for intramuscular injection. The team found that their new compound shows effective delivery of pDNA over ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new drug delivering molecule, a zwitterionic polymer complex that can help get plasmid DNA inside cells when injected into skeletal muscle ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – You may not have heard of polyethylene glycol (PEG), but there’s a good chance you’ve ingested it. The nontoxic polymer is commonly used to prevent freezer burn in ice cream, keep ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 50 (December 15, 2020), pp. 32046-32055 (10 pages) Postoperative adhesions are most common issues for ...

Zwitterions sound like a distant cousin of Twitter (X), but in fact they are a common macromolecule found in human cells.

A breakthrough zwitterionic polymer slips through the skin’s toughest barriers, carrying insulin deep into tissue and normalizing blood sugar, offering patients a painless alternative to daily ...

Protein stabilization is key to tackling protein aggregation, which is involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Rajan et al. explore molecular mechanisms by which zwitterionic polymers stabilize ...
