PREFACE

pp 163–164The Second Symposium on Innovative Polymers for Controlled Delivery, September 11–14, 2012, Suzhou, ChinaZhiyuan Zhong ⁎, Jan Feijen

pp 165–170Magnetic field triggered drug release from polymersomes for cancer therapeuticsHugo Oliveira, Encarnación Pérez-Andrés, Julie Thevenot, Olivier Sandre, Edurne Berra ⁎, Sébastien Lecommandoux ⁎⁎

When exposed to a high frequency magnetic field, internalized hybrid polymersomes (loaded with doxorubicin and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) are able totrigger intracellular drug release and increase cytotoxicity.

NANOMEDICINE

pp 171–179Redox and pH-responsive degradable micelles for dually activated intracellular anticancer drug releaseWei Chen, Ping Zhong, Fenghua Meng ⁎, Ru Cheng, Chao Deng, Jan Feijen, Zhiyuan Zhong ⁎

pH and redox dual-responsive biodegradable micelles trigger drug release not only in the acidic endosomal compartments but also in the reducing cytoplasms, resulting insuperior antitumor effect.
