title: Reduction- and thermo-sensitive star polypeptide micelles and hydrogels for on-demand drug delivery.
abstract: Dual stimuli-sensitive star polypeptide was for the first time synthesized and self-assembled into reduction- and thermo-sensitive micelles and hydrogels, demonstrating tunable size, mechanical and triggered drug-release properties useful for on-demand drug delivery.
