Fabry Disease: An Updated Perspective and Review of Treatment and Therapies

Fabry disease (FD) is a progressive, multisystemic, X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that when untreated leads to decreased quality of life, chronic pain, and end organ disease; however, advances in therapy have significantly altered its original natural history. This paper br...

Amphiphilic Lipid–PolymerTriblock Architecturesas Nanocarriers for Therapeutic Delivery

Abstract This study investigates the formation and characterization of nanocarriers derived from the self-assembly of amphiphilic lipid-polymer hybrids (LPHs) engineered with a symmetric ABA block copolymer architecture. In this design, the terminal A-blocks comprise branched hyd...

Galactose-FunctionalRAFT Agent for Biorelevant PolymericMaterials

Abstract In this work, we report a novel chain transfer agent (CTA) derived from d-galactose and evaluate its potential as a reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) agent. Using this galactose-based CTA, Gal-RAFT, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers were suc...
