Photo-responsive polymeric micelles for the light-triggered release of curcumin targeting antimicrobial activity

Photo-responsive polymeric micelles for the light-triggered release of curcumin targeting antimicrobial activity

Nanocarriers have been successfully used to solubilize, deliver, and increase the bioavailability of curcumin (CUR), but slow CUR release rates hinder its use as a topical photosensitizer in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. A photo-responsive polymer (PRP) was designed for the light-triggered rel...
