Controlling the in situ construction of self-assembled superstructures in physiological conditions with expected biological functions remains a challenge. Reporting in Nanotechnology, researchers reveal a supramolecular system to realise the in situ self-assembly of nanoaggregates in living cells with desired functions.
The facile supramolecular system involves amphiphilic responsive carriers and aggregatable monomer modules. The bis(pyrene) derivatives (BPs, aggregatable monomer) are molecularly dispersed in the hydrophobic domains of pH-responsive amphiphilic poly(?-amino esters) (PbAE) micelles (responsive carrier) at pH 7.4 via hydrophobic interactions.
