Nanotoxicity comparison of four amphiphilic polymeric micelles with similar hydrophilic or hydrophobic structure

Abstract

These results demonstrate that the micelles investigated exhibit diverse nanotoxicity correlated with their structures, their biosafety is different in different cell model, and there is no in vitro and in vivo correlation found. We believe that this study will certainly provide more scientific understandings on the nanotoxicity of amphiphilic polymeric micelles.
