Abstract

作为细胞中的主要运输系统, 天然囊泡在物质的定点输运过程 中具有至关重要的作用. 高分子囊泡是与之结构相似的一种人工囊泡, 具有优异的膜稳定性和胶体稳定性、高药物负载率、低膜穿透性、优 异的可修饰性和长循环时间等优势, 在生物医用领域具有广泛的应用 前景. 然而, 目前该领域尚面临一系列重要挑战, 如合成和制备方法较 为复杂、生物相容性较难预测、功能和递送途径有限等, 限制了其临 床转化之路. 本文从囊泡的构建模块合成、自组装技术和潜在的生物 医学应用等角度, 提出了设计和制备下一代高分子囊泡需要解决的五 个关键科学问题, 指出了未来面临的重要挑战和发展方向, 例如简化设 计和合成过程, 优化和规范自组装过程, 拓展潜在的应用前景.
