TL;DR: Polysarcosine is a polypeptoid based on the endogenous amino acid sarcosine (N-methylated glycine), which has previously shown potent stealth properties and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for these properties are developed.
A peptide-based material for therapeutic carbon monoxide delivery
TL;DR: Self-assembled nanofiber gels containing this peptide spontaneously released CO with prolonged release kinetics compared to soluble CO donors, demonstrating its potential as a biodegradable gel for localized therapeutic CO delivery.
Programmable Assembly of Peptide Amphiphile via Noncovalent-to-Covalent Bond Conversion
TL;DR: The use of covalent bond formation among monomers, compensating for intermolecular electrostatic repulsion, as a mechanism to control the length of a supramolecular nanofiber formed by self-assembly of peptide amphiphiles is reported on.
A head-to-head comparison of poly(sarcosine) and poly(ethylene glycol) in peptidic, amphiphilic block copolymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare chemical and solution properties, like critical aggregate concentrations (CAC) and hydrodynamic radii of aggregates based on either poly(ethylene glycol) or poly(sarcosine) block copolymers in aqueous solution.

TL;DR: Mannosylated micelles showed enhanced cell uptake in DC 2.4 cells and in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and therefore appear to be a suitable platform for immune modulation.
