As part of a collaboration with MIRCen (François Jacob Institute of Biology) and SBIGeM, SCBM researchers have developed functional micellar nanovectors capable of targeting a population of cancer cells.
Polydiacetylene micelles were functionalized with controlled amounts of biotin using bioorthogonal click chemistry. The biotinylated micelles were evaluated in the selective targeting of the MCF-7 cancerous cell line and were shown to be readily internalized. The efficiency of the cellular uptake was correlated to the density of grafted biotin.Read the French version.
