Biologically active core/shell nanoparticles self-assembled from cholesterol-terminated PEG-TAT for drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier

Biologically active polymer core/shell nanoparticles (i.e. micelles) self-assembled from TAT-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-cholesterol (TAT-PEG-b-Chol) were fabricated and used as carrier for targeted blood-brain barrier delivery of antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin as a model antibiotic was efficiently lo...
