title: Dually cationic and anionic pH/temperature-sensitive injectable hydrogels and potential application as a protein carrier.
abstract: Novel copolymers containing both anionic and cationic pH-sensitive moieties were reported. These amphoteric copolymers exhibited special closed-loop reversible sol-gel-sol phase transitions in response to both pH and temperature.
