abstract = "Amphiphilic block copolymers combining polyethylene glycol with hydrophobic biodegradable polyesters, such as PEG-PLA or PEG-PCL, can act in self-Assembled form as drug delivery systems (DDSs) with proved clinical efficiency. However, circulation time and biodistribution of these polymeric DDSs can be further improved by understanding the factors affecting their dynamic stability and degradation. We are presenting data revealing that micelles generated from interface-engineered PEG-PBO-PCL triblock copolymers can resist esterases present in blood better than micelles made out of standard PEGPCL congeners, but can be degraded faster than these ones by specific esterases over-expressed in tumors, thus showing selective stability blood/tumor.",
