	A series of dual stimuli-responsive block copolymers comprising temperature-responsive poly(N-vinyl-caprolactam) (PVCL) and biodegradable pH-responsive poly(L-lysine) (PLL) of varying chain length were syn-thesized by a combination of free radical polymerization and ring opening polymerization. The block copolymers formed micelles and vesicles (polymersomes) in response to temperature and pH, respectively, in aqueous so-lution. The nanoassemblies were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. Encapsulation of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic dyes in the polymersomes was shown. Doxo-rubicin (DOX) was loaded in the polymersomes and its controlled release in response to the two stimuli, inde-pendently and jointly, was studied. The drug was found to be released due to stimuli-induced increased permeability without disassembly of the polymersomes. A significant increase in the cellular uptake of the drug-loaded polymersomes at hyperthermia conditions was demonstrated at 41 degrees C and release of the drug upon localization in lysosomes was observed. Cellular internalization pathway of the polymersomes was investigated by competitive inhibition assay and a combination of endocytic pathways dominated by caveolae-mediated mechanism was found to be operative.&lt;/p&gt;

	2,2-Bis-(methylol)propionic acid-based second-generation polyester dendron amphiphile (T-D) containing visible light-responsive donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) as hydrophobic tails is synthesized. Micelles of T-D amphiphile and its mixed micelles of varying compositions with nonresponsive dendron amphiphile containing lauryl groups are prepared in aqueous solution. In transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses, T-D amphiphiles show rice grain-like ellipsoidal micelles as the predominant morphology. Mixed micelles display a composition-dependent morphology gradient such that the morphology changes from rice grain like to mixed to completely spherical with decreasing content of the T-D amphiphile. Complete morphology change to spherical micelles and partial reversal to ellipsoidal micelles, finally leading to ill-defined aggregates, are observed when the T-D amphiphile micelles are subjected to visible light-dark storage photoswitching cycles. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) analysis of 1 wt.% micellar solution in THF:water (10:90) reveals only a minor change in shape and size upon photoirradiation, and the data could be fitted to spherical or ellipsoidal model. Release of hydrophobic dye from mixed micelles is tuned by the content of the photoresponsive amphiphile. Cellular uptake and visible light-triggered release of hydrophobic drug from mixed micelles are demonstrated using MDA-MB-231 cells, suggesting their applicability for photoresponsive drug delivery.&lt;/p&gt;

	Linear-dendritic block copolymers comprising poly(epsilon-caprolactone) attached to hydrophilic 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (bis-MPA) ester dendron via a disulfide and containing a defined number of pendent visible-light-responsive donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) groups are synthesized using click chemistry and postpolymerization modification. Self-assembly in aqueous solution selectively affords rice grain-like ellipsoidal, rod-like, and spherical micelles, governed by the number of DASA groups. Progressive disassembly of the micelles is observed during photoswitching cycles. Release of camptothecin depends on the DASA content under light irradiation and is enhanced by the synergistic effect of two stimuli. Cellular uptake quantified by FACS analysis is demonstrated to be influenced by the shape of the micelles, with ellipsoidal micelles exhibiting higher efficiency than spherical micelles by following clathrin- and caveolae-mediated endocytosis as major pathways for internalization. Both types of micelles were found to maintain the particle size in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 degrees C. Doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded ellipsoidal micelles under photoirradiation show significantly higher apoptosis than free DOX.&lt;/p&gt;

	Loading of multiple drugs in a nanocarrier with high entrapment efficiency is important for combination therapy in cancer treatment. Here, a block copolymer comprising hydrophobic poly(epsilon-caprolactone) block with a defined number of pendent propargyl groups, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether as a hydrophilic block, and a redox-responsive disulfide group at the block junction is synthesized using click chemistry and ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Benzaldehyde and thymine groups are introduced in the side chains for selective attachment of anti-cancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and methotrexate (MTX), via the formation of pH-responsive imine linkage and hydrogen bonds, respectively. The drug-conjugated block copolymers are assembled into spherical micelles of &amp;lt; 200 nm, and the preferential release of DOX and MTX in response to acidic pH and redox conditions is shown. At pH 5, DOX release was 59.5%, and MTX release was 40% compared to 13% and 12% at pH 7.4, whereas at pH 5 with 10 mM GSH, a DOX release of 81.5% was observed after 48 h. Cellular uptake of drug-conjugated micelles and their apoptosis compared to free DOX in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells is demonstrated. Caveolae-mediated endocytosis was found to be the major pathway used by drug-loaded nanocarriers.&lt;/p&gt;
