Advances in lipid-based drug delivery: enhancing efficiency for hydrophobic drugs.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The use of hydrophilic polymers as a substitute for the Fc-domain in immuno- or non-immuno-based binding proteins is accelerating. Chemical PEGylation has led the way and is still the most advanced and clinically-approved approach. Hydrophilic polymers act by maintaining a flexible conformation and hydroge...
